The Lord Our Confidence
As complex people in a confusing world, we find it easy to fluctuate between extremes of pride (I have it all figured out!) and panic (I don’t know anything at all!). This week, Psalm 131 calls us to calm and quiet our own souls, even in the middle of the great mysteries of life.
From Series: "Ascending the Ancient Path: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent"
In contrast to our instant-everything world, spiritual growth is a slow, winding journey on the long road to a God-given destination. Christians often use the metaphor of a journey to describe what it’s like to move toward maturity in life with God. In ancient times, the people of God would literally travel together on the road to Jerusalem for worship. Since the city was at the highest elevation in the region, they ascended on this pilgrimage path. Along the way, they sang psalms which became known as the Songs of Ascent. Join us this summer as we travel through these ancient songs to find time-tested direction for our own journey with God and his people.
