Hope-in-the-Lord-Graphic.jpg

“My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.  But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.  Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.”  Psalm 131:1-3

Dear Jesus, I think David felt the same as your disciples did when they had you in person.  As long as you were around, they were at peace.  You would handle everything, especially the things they couldn’t figure out.  David had learned to separate what he was supposed to control from what he wasn’t.  He learned to trust you for those things.  I want to trust you too.  Increase my faith that I can let go and let you take care of everything outside my control and help me to discern the difference.  Amen.

Focus on being a blessing and let God take care of blessing you by directing your life.
