Obedience | Pilgrim Songs

Many Christians do plenty of religious activities, but experience little of God’s presence. David’s quest to find the ark shows us that we must have more than a desire for God, we must actively seek Him in our lives. When we dwell in God’s presence, we will experience His blessings.

Humility | Pilgrim Songs

Trust came so easy to us as children, but as we grow older we become jaded. We start dreaming less about how we’re going to change the world and become more concerned with how we are going to take care of ourselves. Jesus is calling us to let go of our lives and trust God like child again.

Hope | Pilgrim Songs

This psalm is all about the real hope we have in God because of his great love for us.  Psalm 130 tells the story of salvation: Mercy from God, forgiveness with God, hope in God, and redemption by God.  Our job is to tell the story.
