10/29 Psalm 131:1
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me. 2 But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.
QUIET
When we quiet our heart it is amazing at how loudly the Lord speaks. Listen to Jesus. He wants to be with you. He is seeking to tell you the right way to go, the right thing to do and how much He loves you. Jesus is Lord.
