The AscentSample
REMEMBER WHEN...
Have you ever looked back on your life and realised that God has been with you all the time? Sometimes it can be hard to see what God is doing in the middle of a situation. In hindsight, we can see that God has been with us the whole time.
In Psalm 124, Israel is encouraged to tell of the times when God came through. It talks about the idea that if God had not been with them, they would not have lasted long. But if He had come through, the psalmist challenges them to actively remember it.
If you are in a situation right now when you can’t see what’s ahead or how things are going to work out, look back and remember all the good things God has already done. Look back and see all of those miraculous times. He is there, we just have to remember it.
Seeing God’s faithfulness in the past gives us hope for the future.

About this Plan
The Ascent… is an invitation to climb. It’s an invitation to proximity. It’s an invitation to intimacy. In the Old Testament there are 15 psalms of ascent. They are songs that Israel sang on their way to celebrate God at festivals. They express amazing grace and they quiet anxious fears. They are songs that provide courage and support as we travel the road of faith and discover who we are and what God’s called us to. It has been said that the Psalms of Ascent are like placing your feet in the footprints of others and reminding ourselves to be moved again; to keep walking forward in the direction of God. This devotional is an invitation to lift our eyes and to ascend the heights; to becoming Jesus’ climbing companions.
