Put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore

Psalm 131:1-3
My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for meBut I have calmed and quieted myselfI am like a weaned(斷奶) child with its mother; like a weaned child I am contentIsrael, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.
The psalmist has put aside all arrogance and conceit. He is content to rest quietly in the Lord, like a child in its mother's arms. This is one of the Bible's loveliest mother-image of God.
Why?
Fully rest, calm and quiet myself can see the great things has been done by the Lord.
Put my hope in the Lord, for God is good to me and protect me from danger.
Do not proud and haughty, for all I have is grace of the Lord.
Don't let selfish desire disturb my heart, for proud and desire for some wonderful may lead me astray.
How?
Dear Lord, please keep my heart focus on you and follow your word from now and forever. Calm and quiet my heart!
