SONGS OF HUMILITY - Psalm 131 – Steve Poole

THEME - Psalm 131 lauds humble contentment in God and His sufficiency

OUTLINE

1. “Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty…” (vs. 1)

• We strive as David is surely doing to be humble and content.
• We have been justified...however, we still live in physical bodies riddled with sin
• 1 Corinthians 9:27

2. “Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul…” (vs. 2)

• Calm instead of obsessing over details.
• Content in every situation. (Phil 4:11-12)
• Anxious for nothing. (Phil 4:8)
• Crucifying the flesh. (Gal. 5:24-25)

3. “Put your hope in the Lord…” (vs. 3)

• An invitation to do as David has done.
• The “Three Trees Story” - meaning and purpose to the glory of God.
