O LORD, my heart is not lifted up;
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, hope in the LORD
from this time forth and forevermore.

This morning Psalms 131 was a refreshing breath as I consider God’s work verse my work.  Sometimes it is difficult to remember God’s mission starts with me.  He has been working in my life from the time I was born until today. God has pursued a relationship with me and provided his own Son as a substitute for my sin. The relationship between God and me is the most important relationship each day. As I tune into his words and ways during personal time with him, his mission in my life begins to continue outward to others. Then I become part of his mission in Taiwan.

Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
