Psalm 130

What should our response be to evil?

This week we are looking at Psalm 126 which is a song about God's work of restoration.

We continue our journey of ascent by looking at Psalm 125.

God is the only true source of strength and help. We rally around one another and help as we can, but we fail each other as often as we help. It’s just the way it is. Try as we may, we are not able to fully help in the way that is needed. Only God can offer true help, the redemption of our souls through the grace and mercy shown through the death and resurrection of Christ.

God is our helper. As we walk along the difficult journey of life, we can trust in the great love we have found and help others along the way.

This summer we're looking at the Psalms of Ascent. These were songs that pilgrims would sing as they were ascending up the road to Jerusalem. They would help to prepare them to worship. We are looking at them to help us along our own spiritual journey. This week, we're looking at Psalm 120 which is a song asking God to save us from slander.

Jesus’ command to go and make disciples is a call to go out into the places we go and love people as God loves them and teach them to love others as God loves them. The call isn’t relegated to the “professional christians” but to all who profess faith in Christ Jesus. We are able to more effectively do this through the power of the holy spirit who goes before us and also with us.
