6 Comments

 
Psalm 125 paints a beautiful picture of the protection that comes from trusting #God. Let's explore the timeless truths found in this #Psalm. Let's reflect on the steadfastness of God. Let's remind ourselves of the #blessings that come to those who place their trust in Him. Let's dive into the comforting message of Psalm 125. There, we'll discover #peace and stability. This peace and stability come from being enveloped by the presence of the Lord. #Biblestudy #powerofprayer #devotional #Jesus

​A Journey of Worship:
​The Psalms of Ascent

In ancient times, the Israelites took journeys to the temple in Jerusalem to worship. These were sacred occasions during yearly festivals. Their journeys included singing the Songs of Ascent, a collection of Psalms 120-134. These songs reminded them of God's grace and mercy. They also reminded them of His provision, protection, and salvation. These reminders were especially comforting during challenging times. 

Today, our places of worship are much closer, but we can still learn from this ancient practice. We still need to be reminded of God's goodness and these 15 Psalms do just that!

3 Important Truths About God We Should Cling To

Recently, my #husband and I have been #reading through the stories of the #Bible with our #daughter each night before her #bedtime. Sharing these #biblical accounts has not only been beneficial to her, as she is beginning to understand and connect the stories of the Bible, but it has also helped me to see them in a new light through the fresh eyes of my #child. The last few weeks have found us chronicling #Israel’s #Exodus from #Egypt and the years they #wandered in the #wilderness. #Biblestudy
Recently, my husband and I have been reading through the stories of the Bible with our daughter each night before her bedtime. Sharing these biblical accounts has not only been beneficial to her, as she is beginning to understand and connect the stories of the Bible, but it has also helped me to see them in a new light through the fresh eyes of my child. The last few weeks have found us chronicling Israel’s Exodus from Egypt and the years they wandered in the wilderness before finally entering the Promised Land. This period in the life of God’s chosen people is marked by a repeated pattern—one even our young daughter quickly picked up on. God would deliver or provide for Israel in a miraculous and powerful way. Then, the people would be momentarily grateful for His timely deliverance and sufficient provision. However, when difficulty presented itself again, they would ultimately complain, leading to sin. ​
