Psalm 131:1-3 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.… I. NEGATIVE. 1. Freedom from superciliousness. 2. Freedom from restlessness. 3. Freedom from worldliness. II. POSITIVE. 1. To have the soul fixed on the supremely desirable for ever. 2. To have the soul fixed on the attainable for ever. Is the Lord desirable? Aye, supremely so. Is He attainable? Undoubtedly. He comes within the reach of all that hunger and thirst after Him. (David Thomas, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: {A Song of degrees of David.} LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. |
