A Quiet Soul

 Psalm 131:2

"But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content."

I believe that in this very fast pace world, we NEED calm, we NEED quiet. 

This verse, I mean yeah it's kinda weird when you first read it, but oh my goodness, how beautiful. When a child is still nursing, when it is in its mothers arms, it knows that it is there for food. But when it is weaned and in its mothers arms, it is there for comfort, just enjoying that moment of calm, that moment of protection.

When we come to The Lord, knowing that He is God, and he has us in His arms. How powerful man...

HE is the ultimate source of peace, calm, and quiet. When I just sit and enjoy that, like a "weaned child", not coming to ask for a ton of things (MILK!). But coming saying, "God, thank you for being God! Thank you for allowing me to come and be still in your presence!" That to me is just so beautiful.

Because we are designed to be still in the arms of God!

We are wired for Him!

We are the object of his obsession!

We are designed to be alone with God, designed to enjoy God,to be near Him, to experience Him!

Like a weaned child, enjoying just being with Him

Father,

Thank you for giving my soul room, to expand, so it can breathe again, so it can rest. Thank you for always being a good Father, thank you for revealing yourself to me in a new way today, in a very calm, comforting way. It is so awesome to me that you are holding me in your arms, just wanting me to be still, so that you can comfort, so that you can bear the load. Father the peace that you have given me these last few weeks blows my mind, thank you so much, because if it was up to me, at this point, well you know, I would be freaking out. I would be worried, jealous, and scared! But you have filled me with PEACE. Hallelujah.

amen
