I'M NOT DAVID
Today's reading: Psalm 131-133

"Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don't concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me." Psalm 131:1 NLT

I'm not David.

I'm not keen on sheep. I'm not musically talented. I'm not brave in the face of giants. I'm not a leader. I'm not a soldier. I'm not a person full of wisdom.

I'm not able to say I don't concern myself with matters too great for me.

That's the worst part.

I think about, stew over, ponder, fret, worry, focus on, allow to take over my mind, concentrate, give over to wild imaginations things that are above and beyond my ability to control or plan.

Like cancer. Or the future. Or understanding God's ways.

I want to be like David. Not the sheep-tending qualities, but the leave God's stuff in God's hands quality.
