Psalm 131

Psalm 131

My heart is not proud, Lord,

    my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters

    or things too wonderful for me.

But I have calmed and quieted myself,

    I am like a weaned child with its mother;

    like a weaned child I am content.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord

    both now and forevermore.

Let us be content in our Lord and Savior. Let us find fulfillment and contentment in Christ. Let us not chase after the things of this world but pursue Christ with all of our hearts. Let us be transformed by our knowledge of His love and mercy. 

Let us abide in the wonders of Jesus and find calm in His arms. Now and forevermore.

As believers, we must seek more than what this world has to offer. We must tune out the noisy chaos that surrounds us and turn to the peaceful gaze of our Savior. We must put our hope in the Lord, not the temporary things of this earth. Instead of pursuing the patterns and expectations laid out in this world, we need to pursue His path and seek His guidance.

We must pursue Christ and His hope for our lives... for when we do He will lead us in ways beyond our wildest imaginings.

Surely we will find nothing but contentment in the arms of our Lord and Savior. We will find peace when we set aside the matters of this world and rest in Christ alone. Now and forevermore.

Let us not conform to this world and its hardships, but let us be transformed by the love and mercy of our Savior.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
