O Lord, 

my heart is not proud,

nor my eyes haughty; 

Nor do I involve myself in great matters, 

Or in things too difficult for me.

Psalms 131:1 NASB

In our age of self promotion and making ourselves look bigger, better, more successful, this song, this private reflection between David and his God, starts with humility.

Who's eyes are haughty?

Someone who looks down on others, who thinks they've "made it".

David says I'm not that person. 

My heart is not proud. 

Because he is talking to Yahweh!

To God.

There's things that we do and achieve that we should rightly be proud of, but when we stand before God, well, our perspective certainly shifts. 

And this is what leads to the stillness in David's soul that's in V2.

That stillness of the soul that our world and our hearts crave for, David found that by humbly meeting with God.

There's some stuff about God that's hard to understand, but we can step into today confident in the things that are clear:

You & I are dearly loved

Chosen

Adopted

Accepted

By the creator of all. 

Stillness in your soul & mine comes from that place :)
