The Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134) are journey songs meant to encourage and accompany people on a spiritual journey. In our Christian tradition, we call this journey discipleship and spiritual formation. Psalm 124 is our text for this morning and its message gives us hope when we become discouraged and encounter setbacks and even endure 'attacks' on our spiritual journey. As we unpack the ancient wisdom of Psalm 124, we will learn the timeless tools it gifts to us on the journey. The following questions may be helpful in your deeper reflection of today's message.

1. Pastor Rob spoke of several ways this Psalm could be interpreted. How do you feel the Holy Spirit speaking to you through Psalm 124?

2. Name a time (or perhaps the most recent time) when you felt a 'spiritual attack' of some sort? Remember that Pastor Rob gave some examples to broaden our definition of 'attack' (i.e. loneliness, depression, fear, anxiety, etc...).

3. How does the wisdom of Psalm 124 speak to you and encourage you to respond in times of spiritual attack?
