As with travelers of old on their spiritual quest, the collection of Psalms that comprise the Songs of Ascents are invaluable for us today, helping us find our way to the place where heaven and earth meet and our souls discover eternal refreshment.
We’re built to enjoy life with others, to thrive in thick relationships. But life, especially the last two years, has a way of resisting that. This ancient song celebrates the gift of authentic community, making it so appealing that we want to explore it.
How do build and rebuild our lives–our careers, friendships, families, our personal and public worlds–in a meaningful way so we don’t waste them but instead flourish?
This song of ascent is a song of security. As we journey through life, no matter how we walk or what we encounter, we are protected by God; and he never sleeps on the job.
What do we do when we don’t know what to do with our pain, spiritual distress, or uncertainty in life? This ancient song invites us into a journey of emotional authenticity that leads us to a place of hope.
