Psalms 131 is often read as an encouragement to understand that mystery is one of the
hallmarks of God's character.It challenge us to let our minds be at rest,since we are unable to understand all that God is doing in His universe.But then we see another side of David's calm spirit;As we are unable to understand all that God is
doing in us ,and it is impossible to try.David draws a comparison between a weaned
child that no longer frets for what it once demanded,and a soul that has learned the
same lesson.It is a call to learn humility,patient endurance,and contentment in all
our circumstances---whatever they are even when we do not understand God's reasons.
Divine logic is beyond the grasp of our minds.We ask,"Why this affliction? Why this
anguish?" The Father answers,"Hush,my child.You wouldn't understand if I explained it
to you.Just trust Me!" So as we turn from David's example to ask our self:can we ,in our circumstances,"hope in the Lord"?(v3).Can we wait in faith and patience without
fretting and without questioning God's wisdom? Can we trust Him while He works in us His good,acceptable,and perfect will? So,remember this:Deuteronomy C-29P:v29.
