Today’s passage: Psalm 131
Helpful thoughts:
- This would be an excellent psalm to memorize if you struggle with anxiety.
- In verse 1, David speaks of his need for humility.
- In verse 2, David speaks of the contentment and rest we can have simply being with God, regardless of what is going on around us.
- The overall point of the psalm could be said this way, “I can’t fix this. This is above my ability. I will rest with my Heavenly Father and know that He will make all things right in the end.”
Questions to consider:
- What might be some areas of concern that you have been trying to handle or be occupied with? How could God be using it to make you more like Jesus?
- What desires do we have to give up in order to truly rest in God? When we are anxious, what do we want to have happen that we feel we can’t live without?
- What has Christ already given to us that we could never have obtained on our own?
