No More Milk: 12-12-12

Hey friends of Thrive Community Church!  The reading from today's one year Bible that I really need to take to heart is Psalm 131:

² Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

A quieted soul, that is just what the doctor ordered!  I don't know about you, but I sure could use a healthy dose of calm and quiet.  The frustrating part about this verse is that it says "I have calmed and quieted myself...".  I have to do it!!! I have to let go & let God. I have to make a decision to slow my roll.  I have to decide to take a breath, slow down and smell the roses.  

But, if I do, there is a promise- I will no longer whine like a baby crying for mama's milk.  Is that really what I sound like?     

My Prayer for Today: Lord, by your Spirit, help me quit my whining.  May I quiet my soul today, acknowledging that you are God and in control (and I am not).

Amen
