“Psalms of Ascent Series”, Quiet Time Coaching: Episode 198, Psalm 130v3
You have found a daily podcast based on the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134).
They are designed to help our hearts and minds being a healthy place while the Covid 19 virus does its worst.
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” (Colossians 3:1–4 NIV11)
Each day we will meditate on a verse or two from these wonderful Psalms as we make our pilgrimage from confusion to hope, pain to peace, anxiety to joy.
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
Because He stands there, we can ‘stand’ before God in confidence, and we can walk into God’s presence any time any day to find the grace we need, Heb 4:16. This truth and this love makes all the difference when we come to God and are conscious of our sin. We need to bring our sin to him. He will keep no record of sin that is surrendered to him.
