Text for the Day -- Psalm 131
----------
O LORD, my heart is not lifted up,
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvellous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.
O Israel, hope in the LORD
from this time on and for evermore.
Devotional
----------
When you find yourself in deep water and you don't understand what is
going on, trust in God. Quiet yourself like a child at its mother's
breast. You never outgrow the need to be nurtured by the milk that
flows from God's breast - the Living Word that fosters trust so that
you can live with hope. When you stray from your home base with God,
you find yourself in a "prodigal" position - not sure of who you are,
where you are or where you are going. The Biblical story of God's
love for us supplies deep and lasting hope for a lifetime.
Prayer
----------
Be near me, gracious Lord, when I am tempted to go it alone. Amen
