WHEN TRUST IS SHAKEN
Have you ever experienced loss, or grief? A time when what you were hoping for didn’t happen? When you didn’t see the miracle you were so fervently praying for?
Through these situations, when our trust could be shaken, we learn that trust in God cannot be based on circumstances alone. Trust can’t be based on what we can see, but in who God is. We may not feel God’s presence, but Psalm 125 assures us: “the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forevermore.” (NIV)
In seasons where we can’t see what’s around the corner, or we feel like we’re walking in darkness; we can trust the character of God. We know that He is faithful and that He keeps His promises, even if the circumstances around us are shaky. In the seasons when our trust is shaken, we can trust that God is who He says He is.

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.
