The slower pace of summer is an excellent time to step back, re-evaluate our walk with the Lord, and draw closer to Him. To that end, we'll look at Psalm 131, where David teaches us to avoid the sins of pride and self-presumption and pursue God with deeper contentment through the simple, yet striking, illustration of a weaned child who has learned to simply enjoy being in his mother's presence. As we recognize and repent of these common sins and pursue humble contentment in God's presence, we'll find ourselves experiencing a deeper closeness to Him.
