Main Thought:
We do well to appreciate the simplicity of this short psalm. Seeing ourselves as a toddler, with simple hope in the Lord is an apt image.
Psalm 131
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, who humbled Yourself to bear our sins in Your own body, and to suffer the shameful death of the cross, grant us Your Spirit of meekness that we may walk in true humility. Take from us all haughtiness and pride, that we seek not great things, and create in us that mind by which we count Your grace sufficient unto us. Amen.
