Reese LeRoy | The Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) express deep longing for and sheer delight in the presence of God.  These prayers and worship songs remind us of who God is, who we are in Him, and where He is leading us.  Psalm 120 is an invitation to invite God into our distress.  It also reminds us that God desires that we be instruments of His truth and peace even in the midst of deception and conflict.
