This week, Heather walks us through Psalm 130. The Psalms of Ascent were prayers the people of Israel would say and sing, together, as they marched upwards towards the temple in Jerusalem, seeking God and asking him to meet them; to be present. Like the Psalms of Ascent, Advent is about both our need and our preparation for God\u2019s presence. But while the Psalms of Ascent were prayed in ascent, in the people\u2019s slow climb upwards towards the temple and the presence of God, Advent, on the other hand, turns our attempts at ascent upside down. We don\u2019t climb to him, he descends to us. Like gravity, God\u2019s presence is experienced in the decent, in his downward movement towards us and in our reception of his gift: himself.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/1098e41e-8b74-4283-92e9-9abc82aaa9c7/3000x3000_9179372.jpg"}
