Psalm 131
Big Idea: A Calm And Quiet Soul Before The Lord Is The Key To A Content Life In The Lord
Because The Lord Is Enough:
1) An attitude to avoid: pride before the Lord (v. 1)
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
– Proverbs 16:18
“Come let us build ourselves a city and tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves …”
– Genesis 11:4
2) A posture to pursue: contentment in the Lord (v. 2)
“’Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’”
– Matthew 18:3-4
3) An exhortation to embrace: hope in the Lord (v. 3)
“For He Himself (Jesus) is our peace …”
- Ephesians 2:14a
