Brothers don’t dwell in unity. They let personal feelings, preferences, and bitterness get in the way of moving forward together on mission. This psalm shows us God’s perspective on unity. We see how valuable it is and why it matters to him. If unity among God’s people is so important to him, shouldn’t it be very important to us, as well?
The enemies of God tremble and flee from us when we worship our God.
Psalm 131 should push us into greater trust in God when he operates above our plane.
Do not think you are so low that God could not save you. However low you are, Jesus was made lower, bearing an unimaginable weight of sin with him to the cross.
This psalm should give us great joy and a clearly-defined plan for moving forward in the new year (and in life).
Because the word of God is eternal and life-giving, we must depend on it daily. God’s Word is essential for all of life.
