put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore

 Psalm 131:1-3

My heart is not proudLordmy eyes are not haughtyI do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for meBut I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content(like a weaned child is my soul within me).

Israel put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.

Why?
We could do something different, or something great. But before the Lord we are nothing, be humble in my heart, and do not be haughty in my eyes.

Put my hope in the Lord forever don't do anything more than I can do.

透露完全依靠主的心。

130篇在深處求告神赦罪的恩典!人在罪惡中極痛苦。

131篇罪得赦免,心裏安穩。生命的改變後,完全依靠神享受安穩。不是不做事,而是跟隨主的道路,不要憑著自己的想法、熱誠、血氣、策略可而行。例如摩西的熱心打死一個埃及人,大衛數點軍隊,誰會常閱兵,無非是狂傲的人。我們是跟隨主在走,還是走在主的前面。不要自作聰明!斷過奶的嬰孩,不會再依靠奶!不要去依靠什麼東西或是方法,完全的依靠主,孩子斷奶,只要安穩在母親懷中,無憂無慮。

大衛認識到依靠耶和華這麼好,以色列全國百姓是否也要來依靠耶和華。通常國王在乎的是權利,是否有人要造反,自己滿足最重要。大衛盼望更多的人也享受在神的恩典中。

How?

put my hope in the Lord both now and forevermore!
