Bible Note: Psalm 131 Hello, Doc - I am fairly new to the forum. I have enjoyed your postings, and I think your username is great! I think there is a difference between being "satisfied that we know enough" and "leaving to God the things that we don't understand." What I got out of Hank's post was that there were certain things he had quit struggling with, not that he felt he "knew enough." A scripture that has helped me relax about the things I don't understand is Psalm 131. The first two verses read: "O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me. Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me." Certainly the child in this verse is going to continue to seek nourishment and to grow, but is no longer struggling. The last verse of the Psalm says, "O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever. Sanctuary." My hope is in Him that He will help me to understand everything in His timing - sometime between now and "forever." :) |
