What is the antidote for a busy heart? How do we quiet ourselves? In this sermon from Psalm 131, Dr. Greg Gifford helps us see where we may have too high a view of ourselves, thinking only we can accomplish a particular task, and taking on things that are not meant for us to do. Like the psalmist, may we quiet and calm our souls, look to the Lord, and put our hope in him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
