The Psalms today are from 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132. These continue to be the Psalms of Ascent...the pilgrimage journeying Psalms of the believer who heads through life with a deep desire to discover God. In these Psalms is this short, but meditatively amazing thought.
"Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
or too awesome for me to grasp.
Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
OIsrael, put your hope in the Lord—
now and always." (Psalm 131:1 - 3 NLT)
I love the imagery the Psalmist portrays. If it were possible to put our lives in such a state. It would be "wonder full" to find the soul in such a condition. To have a quiet trust that surpasses the stresses and busyness of life, the struggles and the difficulties; as well as the euphoric highs of everything is good.
I want this as much as anything in life.
Peace
