A question for those who worship corporately…
When I was at the site of the temple ruins in Jerusalem, our guide talked about how those coming to worship in the temple days would recite the psalms of ascents (psalms 120-134) as they were climbing the stairs to the temple.
With every step. They would pause and recite a verse of a psalm.
Whenever I think about this, my spirit quickens. How ready they must have been by the time they were entering the temple. How running over with praise and thanksgiving they must have been. How tuned into God they must have been. Even in their sorrow. How palpable the Spirit must have been.
The Question: How do you prepare to enter the temple?
--Rev. Traci Blackmon
