"O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high.
I do not occupy myself with things too great or too marvelous for me,
but I have calmed and quieted my soul.
Like a child quieted at its mother's breast, like a child that is quieted, is my soul.
O, Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth and forever more."
- Psalm 131

This is my favorite Psalm, and one that helped me out while I was feeling very anxious and alone in the airport earlier.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Psalm for the first time during my third year of seminary (a year before you were born). I still don't know any expression of faith that is so real and so true to experience.
