A multi-day trek into the mountains with no trail at all, just an uncle breaking the path and one instruction: step exactly where I step. From that memory a speaker from Texas leads us to Psalm 125 and the question of whether God can be trusted not a little, but completely. The sermon names three moments when trusting is hardest: when life turns uncertain, when we feel abandoned, and when sin settles into our lives. Listen if you want to discover why those who trust the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken.
Feeling Safe on the Dangerous Journey Called Life
On the Journey
Travel and conversation complement each other perfectly. It’s best to travel in good company, because then every journey becomes an opportunity to exchange thoughts, but also to enjoy shared silence. Summer, a time of vacations and trips, is a good time to remind ourselves that God is the most important companion on our journey-including the greatest one of all, called life. And since we’re already journeying with Him, it’s worth enjoying conversation-in addition to those moments when we’re silent and simply enjoy each other’s presence.
That is why this summer we will read a series of psalms known as the “pilgrim” or “traveling” psalms, because they were recited during the journey to Jerusalem. It is a journey through the twists and turns of life-from sorrow and loneliness to community and worship. Yet the most important thing about it is that we can walk and talk with God Himself.
