"I do not occupy myself with things too great or too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul," Psalm 131:1-2.
Worried. Anxious. Apprehensive. Fearful. Agitated. Panicked. Feelings assailing the soul when dwelling on possible calamitous outcomes. That's what it talks about when it says, Things too great or too marvelous. That is, overwhelming things over which we have little, or no, overt control. Over. Over to God. Over to Jehovah with these potential calamities. No longer fretting self with these, but quieting self with God, the able One. Confident. Calm expectation of good outcome resting in God. Our hope rests in the Lord. And the soul rests, quieted, like a child at the mother's bosom.
Today, having found a brother or sister, together we reaffirm common hope in the Lord God. And, calmed by the Shepherd of Israel, we give thanks. From this time forth and for ever more.
