Beth Moore, Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent

(1) Passover pictures the death of the Messiah.
(2) The Feast of Unleavened Bread pictures the burial of Messiah.
(3) Firstfruits pictures the resurrection.

"When key people in your formative years were supposed to bring you security but brought insecurity instead, you inherit a tremor in your soul that is impossible to still naturally" (68).

--the mistake of placing security in the blessing of God rather than in God Himself

My security cannot be even in passion for His Word.... God's favor and His person are not synonymous. If my trust is in manifestations of His favor rather than in God Himself, I will crumble like dry clay when He calls me to walk a distance of my journey entirely by faith and not by sight (69).
