The Rested Worshipper – Psalm 127

The Rested Worshipper – Psalm 127

Today, Nicky Mackison looks at Psalm 127.  He highlights the fact that this is the central psalm in the songs of ascent.  These were psalms sung by worshippers as they climbed the hill to the Temple, to meet God.  In the centre of this psalm is the statement that God grants sleep to those he loves.  The assurance of God’s love drives out anxious fear.  This permits peaceful and restful sleep.
