haar Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 David quieten his inner person by leaning on the Lord; abandoning his wants and problems to God to resolve. He put his trust in the ever able God for the solutions to his problems. Some expressions used in this Psalm are 'stilled' and 'quietened' my soul. This implies stopping all wories and waiting patiently for God to come to the rescue at His own time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ogilvie Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 In Psalm 131 David states that he has "quieted his 'inner person' before the Lord" by resolving to not concern himself with "great matters" or "things too wonderful for me". In Philippians 4:12 Paul states this concept as, "I have learned to secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." In Matthew 18:4, Christ says, ".... whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Accepting God's teaching and will humbly and as child before Him is repeated again and again in various forms throughout the scriptures. I must admit to have some reservations when those scriptures are applied in such a manner as to impede human development and thought, or worse, as a tool to justify oppression or enslavement of others, whether individuals or whole peoples. Applying those statements as one who stands before God is one thing, applying them to one who stands before "his betters" is inexcusable. The elements mentioned in the Psalm by David compare himself to a "weaned child" who no longer has a constant need to be fed by its mother. I am bothered by that statement in that, while humble contentment in the Lord is one thing; to eschew all desire for understanding and knowledge by abandoning intellectual curiosity or desire for a deeper relationship with God is not acceptable. That is an act of waste and unforgiveable dismissal of God's gifts and capabilities that renders an individual as an incomplete worshiper and follower of God. I recognize that my response is not in the spirit of the question, but I feel so strongly about those who would use such statements from the scriptures as tools to intimidate, browbeat, threaten, or oppress others that I simply cannot speak otherwise. Ignorance in the Lord is not necessarily bliss. In Matthew 5:17-18 Christ tells us "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." This is a statement that requires our study, understanding and acceptance not only of the Law and the Prophets but of Christ and His message and mission. That cannot be accomplished by mistaking ignorance for humbleness before the Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynd Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 By giving room/place for God in my life I afford myself the privilege of being able to dwell in the place I desire so greatly "His Temple" forever. Whatever the issue, time or circumstance make time for God, He will calm your troubled soul and sooth a hurting spirit. He IS the balm out of Gilead, my great healer and provider. Praise His Very Name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charchar Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Q1. According to Psalm 131, just how does David quiet his inner person before the Lord? What are the elements mentioned in this psalm? First by being humble and trusting God. Humility, Trust, Setting down and rest, weaning of , being content and Hoping. This is a short Psalm but it have alot of information in it. It shows some of the requirments in being a Christian. You most of course humble yourself, and trust God. Have the Faith that He is all that He said He is. Than you have to not try to take control of the situation but just rest and be reassured that He already got it and it have already been taken care of. Ok now is the big part being content. Sometime we have a problem of being content with what God knows is best for us. We sometime want things to go the way we image it to go but most of the time it is not the plan for our life . We must learn to become more content with whatever God allow in our life. And our hoping will continue to grow and our worries will not longer become a part of our first response. Thank you in Jesus Christ name for your Love and revelation in my life. Thanks a blessing me with the power of knowing to rest in your peace.
