Journeying with God through the Seasons of Life 1: Living in a World of Lies - Psalm 120
Description
When I was young, one of my greatest fears was being misrepresented. If people were speaking lies about me or misrepresenting me, it hit something that was deeper in me than perhaps anything else. Then I entered pastoral ministry here in the heart of the city, only to find that I was face to face with that all the time. I want to begin from now till the end of June to walk through what's called the Songs of Ascents, Psalms 120 to 135. They were spoken and sung by the people when they made pilgrimage three times a year to Jerusalem. The first of these psalms, 120, is about living as a follower of God in a world of lies. When you're misrepresented, and slander comes against you. Maybe you're living through that right now. It's a painful place to be, when your reputation, which you treasure, which God treasures, is taken and is blackened. That's where we start, following God through the seasons of life because this season comes to us.
