During my devotional reading, I questioned, “Who can reconcile God’s sovereign election and man’s free will?” Well, I found out how David weren’t afraid to admit that his heart had knew all the answers nor were his eyes raised too high up as if he was so intellectual egotist. In fact, I saw that he was contented to know what he could know and leave the mysteries with God (Psalm 131:1, NIV). Jesus reminds us that that we should have self–humiliation and repentance that is acceptable to God. God exalts the humble but He humbles those who exalt themselves (Luke 18:14, NIV).
So the learning point that if the attitude of trust in the wisdom, love, and power of God had brought peace and quietness to the soul of the Psalmist, then we are able to leave the unanswerable questions with God, our souls are loosed from tension as the Psalmist recommends that we should have attitude of confidence in the Lord (Psalm 131:2– 3, NIV). This teaches us that we should clothe ourselves with humility (1 Peter 5:5, NIV) because pride is regarded being as deadly sin.
As a Christian, I thank God for making me as a blessed man being conformed to God’s Word as I do things to please Him with my whole heart. I pray that my life will be cleansed and be abstained from evil with doing what is right in the sight of God as I handle the Word Of God diligently being as a believer (Psalm 119:100–104, NIV)
Are you cleansed by the Word of God today?
