SCRIPTURE: Psalm 131

This Sunday, Jeff presented us with a moving and timely sermon on Psalm 131, a passage that offers a lifetime’s worth of lessons in just three verses. As we begin a new year, we often set our thoughts on hopes, dreams, and goals for the coming months. We might also reflect on the causes of past disappointments and the fears we face in the present. In this Psalm, King David foreshadows the Lord Jesus Christ by humbly acknowledging the limitations of human understanding and finding our ultimate contentment and delight in God alone. May this brief passage reorient our new year’s aspirations and anxieties toward stronger, more joyful trust in our loving God.
