Scripture lesson: Psalm 131 The limits of being human

 

Time to reflect: It can drive us wild trying to understand what humans are incapable of understand. We'll never know the mind of God, except to the degree God reveals God's nature to us.

Moving Throughout the day: What are some of the imponderables in your life? What have you gained by worrying about them? Try saying this Psalm in relationship to these issues.

Scripture:

My heart is not proud, O LORD,
       my eyes are not haughty;
       I do not concern myself with great matters
       or things too wonderful for me.

  But I have stilled and quieted my soul;
       like a weaned child with its mother,
       like a weaned child is my soul within me.

  O Israel, put your hope in the LORD
       both now and forevermore.
