Study

Have you ever spent several days studying over one segment of scripture?  These last 4 or 5 mornings, in the early am, I have had the great pleasure in reading over Psalm 131.  What an amazing little passage.

Here is the passage out of The Message:
God, I'm not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountain. 
   I haven't meddled where I have no business 
      or fantasized grandiose plans. 
 ² I've kept my feet on the ground, 
      I've cultivated a quiet heart. 
   Like a baby content in its mother's arms, 
      my soul is a baby content. 
 ³ Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope. 
      Hope now; hope always!


and here it is out of New American Standard:

¹ O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.
² Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.
³ O Israel, hope in the LORD
From this time forth and forever.

I just absolutely love it.  I have read it, meditated on it, and prayed over it.  I so desire for these verses to sink deep into my heart! 

Being composed and quiet, not trying to rule the roost or meddle.  Keeping my feet on the ground.............all always me to show gratitude and thanksgiving to My Jesus.
