Psalm 131 | Daily Bible Meditation and Reflection

Today, we're going to continue our reading through the Psalms with Psalms one thirty one. The Psalm says, Lord, my heart is not proud. My eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk.

Yes. Like a weaned child's soul. Like Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me. Oh, Israel, put your hope in the Lord now and always. The Psalm is a great moment to take just a breath to relax ourselves and remember that in the Lord we have comfort, we have peace, we have faithfulness.

The same way a weaned child is comforted by the arms of their parents, we too can have that relationship with our Lord. And I love that it doesn't get, too drawn out. It's just a quick reflection that allows us to be in the presence of the Lord. Now this doesn't say to not worry about anything, but it does encourage us to take those worries into the comfort of our Lord and Savior. Let's pray.

Heavenly Father, as we navigate just all the different paths and stressors of life, Lord, help us to remember that in you comes peace, in you comes comfort and freedom from the anxiety and stress that we carry. Lord, help us to just be at your feet today and live in your glory, in your love, and in your care for us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
