Monday I mentioned the wonderful sermon I heard on Psalm131” class=”bibleserver extern” target=”_blank”>Psalm 131 on Sunday. This Psalm soothes as it speaks into the noise of our daily worlds. Today I urge you to join me in meditating on it by reading it slowly, memorizing it (?!), and hearing these words when sinful hearts shout or other voices encroach…
Psalm131” class=”bibleserver extern” target=”_blank”>Psalm 131
1My heart is not proud, LORD,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
3 Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.
“Seek Jesus, carrying your sins in your hands. Psalm131” class=”bibleserver extern” target=”_blank”>Psalm 131 is His consciousness: quieted but not placid, composed but not detached. His composure is a communicable attribute, something He willingly teaches and gives away. Psalm131 embodies a radical, violent, contrarian dynamic. It issues in utter delight. It goes against everything we innately cherish. It gives us something worth cherishing forever.” David Powlison,“Peace, be still”: Learning Psalm131” class=”bibleserver extern” target=”_blank”>Psalm 131 by Heart The Journal of Biblical Counseling • Volume 18 • Number 3 • Spring 2000
