I overheard a conversation yesterday that left me a bit unsettled. It doesn't really matter what the subject or content of the conversation was just that it was unsettling. I am pretty sure we all have these. you hear or read something that just leaves you unsettled. These are usually things that we can do nothing about and yet they rattle us.
At the root of the issue I turn to a quote by St. Augustine
"My Soul is restless, Lord, until it rests in you"I was not turning to God at this time. However, I sat down for evening prayer last night and the second psalm was Psalm 131 which speaks of childlike faith in God. I put it here for you to meditate or muse on.
O Lord, my heart is not proudnor haughty my eyes.I have not gone after things too greatnor marvels beyond me.
Truly I have set my soulin silence and peace.As a child has rest in its mother’s arms,even so is my soul.
Let us all rest in the arms of Jesus today.
O Israel, hope in the Lordboth now and forever.
