A Song of Keeping

March 1, 2026 | Psalm 121 | Rob Collis

The season of Lent is kind of like going on a pilgrimage. It’s a season of 40 days, patterned on how Jesus spent 40 days wandering and fasting in the wilderness – and as Lent leads us towards the cross and the empty tomb, it carves out space in our hearts to long for Jesus’ presence. During the time of the Old Testament, God’s people would go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times a year – but they didn’t make that journey in silence! They turned to the Psalms to create a road trip playlist of songs for the journey.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Psalm 121. This is a famous song – with inspiring language that lifts our eyes up towards the hills and the mountains as we travel on our journey. But as we dig a little deeper, Rob shows us this psalm is not really about the wonder of creation – instead, this is a song about the God who watches over us and keeps us.
