Devotion Psalm 131 The Calm Of The Soul

Psalm 131 – My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. 3 Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.

Oh Lord make me so I am not proud, that haughtiness may never be even a glint in my eyes. Oh Lord please discipline me that my mind would not conceive or receive, that my heart would not with thieving filthy hands latch onto lies of pride that could be thought of by my sinful mind or the temptation of evil. Lord, when in this world I am surrounded by people of greater position than I. I thrive to remember my lowly position. Though my thoughts may be different to those above me, I quash them when it is out of line to reveal them. In earthly matters I submit to people, but in spiritual matters the source of knowledge and wisdom is only You. Dear, Precious Lord God Almighty please don’t allow me to be proud and to believe that I can know Your counsel before you give it. May I wait on You to give it to me and You always do. Sometimes I wait, and oh so often You give before I ask. You enjoy releasing into me the beauty of Your Word. I am ravenous for it! It is life and hope and beauty that is only its own. Train me Lord not to foolishly rush ahead but to know the beauty of Your timing in the releasing of Your wisdom, knowledge and will in. Your timing is divine and perfect! Oh, hallelujah! The joy of receiving from You is matchless! With joy and sure expectation I am an eaglet with mouth open waiting for You to give to me! Oh yes Lord, You are my meat and my drink! You sustain me!

Lord God, please do not allow me to be prideful and think that I can know Your will, that I can know the path that You have designed apart from the giving of it to me by You. My desire is to know only what You give to me. May it be Your soft, sweet and Almighty Powerful Holy Spirit that lovingly gives to me all I need as You lead me where I should go.

You Lord God cause me to be weaned from self-sufficiency and I wait in peace for the sure eternal wisdom-food that comes only from You. My lovely Lord God Almighty You are my only food. Lord, should I have within me a high place for any other thing or purpose, in Your love for me, purge it from me, burn it out, beat it and chase it from me. I desire to desire to only please You and receive from You. You Lord are the Creator and Lover of my soul and there is none other than You! You will continue to always feed me on Your divine schedule and so I will have all I need. Lord let me not be proud or foolish but to know and trust that You are my full sufficiency. I only want what You give because I trust in You! Lord may I please be entirely dependent upon You! That is how it should be and it alone is what is right and within this truth my spirit is in peace as its coordinates and its face are headed toward You and facing You. With the wind of your Spirit at my back, with my sales full and with my eyes seeing You before me, Oh Lord, the beauty of You fills my soul! Praise you God! With all that I am I praise You! Lord, please fill my eyes with You! You are the creator of all and so may I see You in all. May my mind and spirit be trained to only know, from all that I see, Your divine perspective. Lord, being with You, learning from You, trusting only in You (and certainly not in myself) is divine peace that can only be found in You.

I thank You Lord that even this knowledge that You are my every source comes from You! You Lord God are my blessed assurance and the quiet of my soul. Glory to You Lord! Praise You God!
