English Standard Version
I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul
A Song of Ascents.
Of David.
This is one worth revisiting often. It's one of the richest images in Scripture -- that of a child, curled in its mother's lap, completely at ease. You can likely recall this image -- it's one we see often in society. With Mother's Day coming up, it's a good one to recall, for we all yearned for our mothers like this. As a child, this was peace. Even when I could get our kids to be quiet, I couldn't comfort them in the same way their mother could. At 3 in the morning, they didn't call for dad... they always cried out for mom.
May we be so inspired to reach out for God this same way, craving God's comfort, knowing that's the one place we can find peace.
