Songs of Ascent: a 15 day Bible reading plan

Psalms 120-134 are known as the "Songs of Ascent," which describe a person's pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Now, as described in Revelation 21, ancient Jerusalem was merely a precursor for the "New Jerusalem," which we call heaven. So the Songs of Ascent are more that a travelogue of heading to Jerusalem. They're meant to symbolize our life's journey toward God's Kingdom.

Each of the Songs of Ascent is relatively short, so a nice reading plan revolves around reading (and meditating upon) one of the songs each day for a 15-day period. Let's give this reading plan a try, and see where we stand spiritually in 15 days!
