Rise: The Psalms of Ascent (Week 4: God is Worthy to be Trusted)

Episode notes
Life rarely announces when it is about to feel unsteady, but Psalm 125 speaks directly into that experience. Those who trust in the Lord are compared to Mount Zion, not because they are untouched by storms, but because they are not moved by them. Our steadiness does not come from self-confidence or personality. It comes from the God who surrounds His people the way mountains surround Jerusalem. The real danger is not the pressure around us but the slow drift it can produce within us. Spiritual drift does not happen suddenly. It happens quietly, until compromise begins to feel reasonable and obedience starts to feel like inconvenience. The promise of Psalm 125 is not that faithful people never struggle. It is that God remains faithful in the struggle.
