Psalm 131:1-3 (JDV)

Psalm 131:1 [A song of festival caravans. Of David.] Yahveh, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved with things too great or too miraculous for me.
Psalm 131:2 Instead, I have calmed and quieted my throat like a weaned child with its mother; my throat is like a weaned child.
Psalm 131:3 Israel, put your hope in Yahveh, from now and permanently.

I have a busy day today. There are lots of things that I could be worrying about — lots of things that I could be occupying myself with. But here I stand. I wait on God to feed me. I trust in him. I am like a weaned child before a loving mother. Just being in God’s presence is enough.

LORD, someday you will explain all the mysteries that have puzzled me during my lifetime. Today I wait quietly, confident in you. Someday you will guide me into the greatness you intend for me. Today I wait humbly, content to take my small part in your plan. My eyes are not raised too high. They focus on you.
