Pride vs Humility نمونہ

## A Tweet One of the shortest Psalms (check out Psalm 117), Psalm 131 is like a status update from a humble person. In about the length of a tweet, it lets God know where David is at in relation to the Lord of all. Pretty excellent place to be, don’t you think? Could you post such an update today? Are you at a modest place where your inner core is not proud and your outlook on the world is not arrogant or full of disdain? How great would it be to have a calm, quieted soul? The poetic description here of being at inner peace flows from the absence of thinking too highly of yourself. Being content in humble reality, not prideful fantasy. "I do not get involved with things too great or wondrous for me," explains King David. I don’t think he means never investigating huge or complicated subjects or avoiding asking tough questions of God. David did such things in other Psalms. What he seems to share here is a knowing of his place under the lordship and leadership of God. The One to put hope in "now and forever", alluding to the power and protection afforded by the Almighty. This is a hope that is not placed in our own accomplishments or knowledge or success or anything else we might be tempted to elevate. Calm. Quiet. Humble. Peace be with you. #### Written by BEN MCEACHEN Want more? Check out the Real Hope Conversations Podcast and delve deeper into the topic of Pride and Humility with Druvi Perera.
