Psalm 131
This is another pilgrimage psalm by David
Have you ever tried to solve the problems of the world? I usually think about it when I get some beer inside me!!
I have to remember sometimes that some problems are beyond my means to solve!
This Psalm puts me in mind of trying to sort out the big problems that I don't have a hope of solving!
My heart is not proud, LORD, my eyes are not haughty
I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed and quietened myself, like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child I am content.
Israel put your hope in the LORD, both now and for evermore.
One thing I will say is that there some things that I will never understand, however that is no excuse to not try and understand!
Isaac Newton (one of the greatest minds in history) once said
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
There is no shame in admitting that there are things one doesn't know - but there is no excuse for not caring enough to at least try and understand.
