Going Up, Looking Back, Keeping On

Going Up, Looking Back, Keeping On

Author: Alistair Begg May 8, 2026 Duration: 1:02:04
Psalm 126, one of the Psalms of Ascent, traces the pilgrim song of God’s people through three movements: going up, looking back, and keeping on. Reflecting on Israel’s restoration from exile, Alistair Begg shows how joyful remembrance of God’s past faithfulness fuels present perseverance and future hope. The psalm’s tension between remembered blessing and ongoing need points ultimately to Christ, who satisfies the soul’s deepest thirst and leads His people onward toward the new Jerusalem, where God’s presence will dwell fully with His redeemed people. Bible passages: Psalm 126:1-6
