Devotional for Monday in Holy Week

St. Paul's UMC - Chevy Chase, MD

Read Psalms 130-132

Psalm 131 (Expanded Bible)

  

¹ Lord, my heart is not proud;
    ·I don’t look down on others [my eyes are not haughty/lifted up].

I don’t ·do [consider doing] great things,
    and I ·can’t do [don’t consider doing] ·miracles [wonderful acts].

² But I am calm and quiet
[have stilled and quieted my soul]
    like a ·baby [weaned child] with its mother,
like a ·baby [^Lweaned child] with its mother [a relationship with God is like that of a mother with her weaned child resting comfortably in her arms].

³ People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord now and forever.
