He Is Able… #hope

dont give up blog“Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. 

I don’t concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me. 

But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. 

Yes, like a small child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord- now and always..”

Psalm 131:1-3

I must confess.  When I first read this Psalm, my thoughts were of unworthiness and disappointment in myself.

Pride and haughtiness have crept up on me lots of times… the outcome devastation!

But that last line of the top paragraph

“I do not concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me…”

gives me some much needed clarity.

Reminding me of how far I have come…

Living simply.  Loving dearly…

Not letting people or situations change me, but instead,

staying in step with the Holy Spirit’s peace and comfort…

“My heart is not proud, my eyes are not haughty..”

Though I may feel a sting from what someone may do or say…

I am learning this sweet little treasure…

“But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother.  Yes, like a small child is my soul within..”

This brings to mind the sweetest picture of comfort…

Instead of letting pride or haughtiness take over…

I see myself looking for My Heavenly Father… collapsing on his lap.  His arms wrapped around me, my head buried in His chest…

In an Instant I am filled with comfort… reassurance that He is able..

more than able to fight my battles…

“.. Put your hope in the Lord, now and always…”

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  My souls clings to you; your right hand upholds me…”

Psalm 63 7-8
