Finding Peace Through a Calm and Humble Soul

One of the shortest Psalms, Psalm 131 is like a status update from a humble person. In about the length of a tweet, it lets God know where David is at in relation to the Lord.“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.”Psalm 131Pretty sweet place to be, don’t you think?Could you post such an update today? Are you at a modest place where your inner core is not proud and your outlook on the world is not arrogant or full of disdain? Hard question. Man, how great would it be to have a calm, quieted soul? The deal of being at inner peace flows from the absence of thinking too highly of yourself. Being content in humble reality, not prideful fantasy."I do not get involved with things too great or wondrous for me," explains David. I don’t think he means never investigating huge or complicated subjects or avoiding asking tough questions of God. David did such things in other Psalms.I think what he seems to share here is a knowing of his place under God. The One to put hope in "now and forever", alluding to the power and protection afforded by the Him. This is a hope that is not placed in our own accomplishments or knowledge or success or anything else we might be tempted to elevate.Calm. Quiet. Humble. Peace. Have a nice weekend Be Nice. Grace Wins
