Bible Challenge: Psalm 131

Posted on October 2, 2021 Posted By: KBCF Categories: Bible Challenge

Take Home Principle:

“I will be humble before the Lord and quietly trust in God’s doings in the circumstances in my life.”

What does the psalmist avoid (v. 1)?
What has he done instead? (v.2)?
What does he compare himself to or liken himself to? (v. 2a)

Why do you think the psalmist declares that he is not proud or haughty before the Lord?
What will pride and haughtiness result to? (cross ref.: Rom 12:16; Psalm 101:5).
How are we to treat others and how should we look at ourselves? (cross ref.: Rom.12:16)
How can we be calm and quiet before the Lord? (c.f. Matthew 18:3; Psalm 5: 1,3; Psalm 130:7)
Isn’t it escapism to be still when faced with great matters or things “too high” for us?
Why do you think we need to be quiet or still before the Lord instead?

What “weaning” in your life has spurred you to your spiritual growth? Share your own experience.
Share how you have calmed and quieted yourself before the Lord as you trust in Him the circumstances in your life especially in these pandemic times.
