Psalm 131 ~ my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore

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 marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.


We all suffer from sleeplessness sometimes. Did Abraham? It's not recorded in the Bible. Abraham believed God and this was credited to him as righteousness.


What if we could apply Psalm 131, placing ourselves on the chest of Jesus Christ and resting in His arms.

Allowing Psalm 30 to be part of our rest in Jesus.



Psalm 30:11-12

Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!


Now if we look at the whole picture:


Psalm 30

I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!



God doesn't just give us the whipped cream and smile from the top of the Mountain. Father God shows us the conflict and the effort to find the peace and to know the Peace of God will arrive. We work to find the daily work God has given us: To Believe in the One God has sent to us to Believe.


Jesus showed us Life. An indestructible Life.

Father God,

One day we will see Jesus. We will see Your Promises. We will see all the saints living. We will according to Ephesians live with Family of Generations.

We will know all Your Truth.

Thank You Jesus, You know me. And offer salvation to me and the world. In Your Great Love.

Thank You Jesus for Your Love.

Amen.

Our God has made Breakfast on the Beach for fishermen.

Our God calms the winds and the waves.
