Our men’s Bible study last night at our church unpacked Psalm 131 as we studied our Senior Pastors’ Sermon Series on HOPE. Charles Spurgeon noted this psalm takes but a few moments to read but a lifetime to learn. Such a wealth of deep wisdom from the psalm for seeking a calm soul!
I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul
A Song of Ascents. Of David.

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
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.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
3x takeaways from this Psalm include:
1. Know your limitations-even King David realized his!
2. View others kindly as a gift of God’s Providence.
3. Stay in your lane! Thereby avoiding undue daily stress and anxiety!
How blessed to be able to meditate upon this Psalm for a calm and quiet soul in the turbulence and stress of today! Praise Jesus for His amazing Word! Be blessed Soldiers of The Cross!
