When was the last time you were really calm & quiet?

- When was the last time you were sitting still and not worried or thinking about a million things that you could be doing or that needed to be done.

- When was the last time, you found peace and rest. 

- When you read Psalm 131, note where peace and rest begins.

- It does not begin with you.

- It does not end with you.

- It comes in the middle, in v.2 out of 3. 

- It is surrounded by recognizing WHO GOD IS and Who You Are...

- When we REALIZE the Overwhelming Love, Grace, Mercy, Majesty and Might of our LORD... We can finally stop striving to “do it all ourselves”. 

- What is ONE THING today, that you are worrying about, that you need to ask GOD for Help to Trust HIM With..

- Focus on just ONE THING, and write down what you could do... then write down what GOD could do and began to pray that GOD would help you trust HIM, with that one thing!

- GOD’s Plan are always better than our plans, but that is really hard to remember, in the midst of busyness. 

- Let’s Pray for & Pursue this Peace Today!

Mercy... My Soul cries out for Mercy!

- Think back upon a time when you were REALLY GUILTY and you REALLY DESERVED PUNISHMENT but someone gave you GRACE & showed you MERCY!

- Maybe it was at work when you messed up a project or broke a piece of machinery.

- Maybe it was at school when you did not get your work done or do your part on a project?

- Maybe it was at home, when you completely forgot about an event, dinner, guest, etc.

- Maybe it was the store, when you made a mistake and they let you return something or helped make it right.

- We find mercy in so many places in our lives.

- We desire mercy in so many places in our lives.

- With GOD, we find the ultimate mercy, here in Psalm 130 and Romans 5:8.

- Spend time today, not thinking on your past sins, but thinking on GOD’s Great Mercy, shown to sinners, on the cross, where HE paid for all that we could never pay for on our own!

- PRAISE GOD, for HIS Great Mercy!

- Amen!

What a wonderful Psalm to see what it is to read the psalms well.

- Think about the context of this Psalm.

- they are walking up to Jerusalem to remember what the LORD has done for them.

- On the way, they sing a song of history... honestly a song of oppression.

- they remember when they were under the judgment of nations around them, when they were enslaved to the small countries around Israel, because they had walked away from GOD (Read this during the time of Judges).

- They don’t sing about how they went their own way and were in sin, but they remember that GOD brought them back from this affliction.

- GOD brought them out and saved them from a time when others took away their harvest and money, as payment for simply existing.

- We can similarly, remember what GOD has brought us from.

- Even if is was a time of hardship that we brought on ourselves by our own sin, we can remember that GOD has brought us out of that time and brought us to where we are today.

- And we can praise the LORD for HIS Provision and worship HIM, just as the Israelites were preparing to do in Psalm 129.

- Praise GOD, for HIS Great Grace!

- Amen!
