Psalm 131 paints an image of the Christian as resting in the arms of Christ as a child rests in its mother's lap. We should have this kind of peace -- the peace of people who so completely trust God that we don't fly off the handle at every little thing that goes wrong. When we are fully trusting God, we can be patient with the world. This doesn't mean we shouldn't get upset at injustice or conflict in the world -- but we do it from a place of control, knowing that we don't have the last word over things. We don't have to set things right -- we have a Savior who has done that. So we can exhale, picture ourselves resting in Christ's lap, and be at peace as we go into a conflicted world.
