Psalm 131

Psalm 131“O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.”

This psalm is all about finding true contentment. We live in a world that tells us that we must not be content with where we are or we’ll never get that promotion, that new house, that big deal, etc. Yes there is some truth to that but the greater truth is that living in discontentment leaves our souls unsettled. We are looking in all of the wrong places for contentment when we can only find true contentment in Christ. Only in Christ can we calm and quiet our souls.
