How important humility is, recognizing our proper place before God. And how important is the instruction here to not concern ourselves with great matters, especially in our world today. But we can have both these mindsets because we are dependent on God. And He is willing to meet our needs. Like the child who knows the comfort and sustenance of their mother, we live our lives from the reference point that God has and will supply our needs as well, according to His ways and provisions. And all this resolves in placing our hope, our expectation on God…now and forevermore!
What a neat little Psalm we have here…..
I have almost completed preparing for our Women’s Study in the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians and then I will join back in here.
I did read this very short Psalm. I found it comforting to the current mind-race of events in our world. The decision to turn off lofty thoughts regarding things that no one can do anything about, and recognize our humble state, as a child, before the Lord.
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2But 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.
