Bible Question:
What is a weaned soul? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Vala! The phrase is found in Psalm 131:2. Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary says about this verse: *********************** David then testified to his humility. His soul was not disturbed by selfish ambition and passion. He had stilled and silenced his soul. Like a weaned child, no longer wanting his mother’s milk, he was content without that which used to seem indispensable. A mature believer leaves the clamor of proud ambition and rests in the Lord. ************************ The short answer would be that a weaned soul is someone who is content with what he or she has in life. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
