b'Whisper of Wonder PS. 131:1-2\\xa0 #RTTBROS #Nightlight\\xa0\\n\\nLORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Ps 131:1-2\\n\\nWeaned from Striving, Nourished by Grace\\n\\nIn a world ablaze with ambition, Psalm 131 whispers a subversive truth: contentment thrives not in chasing the extraordinary, but in savoring the simple. King David, scarred by victories and trials, offers a profound prayer, which in essence says:\\n\\nMy heart, Lord, seeks no crown, no mountain climb. Not in grand pursuits, but in Your embrace, I find rest.\\n\\nLike a weaned child, David bids farewell to constant need, to grasping at "things too high." He finds solace, not in worldly achievements, but in childlike dependence on God. Just as a babe nestled in its mother\'s arms, David\'s soul seeks comfort in the Divine presence.\\n\\nImagine a child, eyes wide with wonder, exploring the sunbeams dancing on the floor, the smooth pebble in their palm, the rustle of leaves \\u2013 a symphony of the ordinary. This is the spirit David invites us to cultivate, letting go of anxieties that cloud our vision and steal our joy.\\n\\nWe must "quiet ourselves," not becoming passive, but silencing the internal clamor, the need for external validation. To be present in the moment, where a morning dewdrop on a blade of grass becomes a miracle, a simple leaf, a masterpiece.\\n\\nRemember Jesus\' words: "Consider the lilies...they toil not, neither do they spin...Yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." (Matthew 6:28-29)\\n\\nThe lilies, unassuming wildflowers, are our model. They don\'t strive, they don\'t boast, they simply exist in quiet beauty, drawing life from the unseen. This is the essence of a weaned soul: finding peace in the ordinary, trusting the hand that provides.\\n\\nSo, let us shed the burdens of ambition, embrace the childlike wonder within. Let the everyday, the seemingly insignificant, whisper joy. For in these moments, we connect with the source of true richness, with the quiet whisper of God\'s love reminding us: the greatest treasures lie not in possessions or achievements, but in the simple act of surrender and the gift of a present heart.\\n\\nOpen your eyes, quiet your soul, and let the joy of simplicity fill your days.\\n\\n\\nOur Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.'
