Psalm 131
Lord, my heart is meek before you.
I don’t consider myself better than others.
I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head—
such as your complex mysteries and wonders—
that I’m not yet ready to understand.
2 I am humbled and quieted in your presence.
Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap,[a]
I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.
3 O people of God,[b] your time has come to quietly trust,
waiting upon the Lord now and forever.
Everyone comes to a place of needing rest and quiet. But oh the many challenges that come in our way to find this place in life. The key is to set yourself before the Lord and wait on Him. Wait with the intent of slowing down, getting quiet and allowing Him to do only what He can do and that bring a peace that paces understanding.
