The Psalms of Ascent were the pilgrims playlist. Just as they encouraged them in their journey, they should encourage us in our journey.

Despair from not being in God’s presence and living under His favor leads the people to cry out, "will you not revive us again?" In the same way, we must repent from our sin and follow His ways to experience restoration and his favor once again.

God’s justice doesn’t seem to be fair when the wicked prosper and the blameless suffer. God’s justice and mercy reveal God’s goodness to us.

In the dark moments, we can trust the truth of who God is even when we feel God is distant.

Essential faith is a faith that perseveres. So run to break the tape!

We forgive, not because we have to, but because we are compelled by the love of God.

If you had to sum up what was most important to our faith, what would you say?
