Too Big to Grasp

 Scripture:

“Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭131‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, the Psalmist says that he isn’t too proud or haughty. He goes on to say that he doesn’t concern himself with matters too great or too awesome for him. I love the humanity and humility this verse demonstrates. He basically says that he doesn’t worry about things that are too big for his to grasp anyway. 

Application:

Sometimes our minds worry about things that are too big for us to grasp anyway. Sometimes we want to figure out things that are beyond us and are too much to understand. It takes humility to walk in faith and not have all your questions answered. There are times in life when we have to accept things we cannot explain because we trust God. Our concern should be obedience to the things we know rather than trying to go deeper and deeper. 

Prayer:

Father, let my obedience quotient rise up. Help me to trust You and not spend as much time concerning myself with matters I have no control over and cannot understand if I try. Teach me to trust You more and more each day. Show me how to walk with You in simplicity and not think I have to have all the answers to life and God.

Yours,

Jeff
