Hi, so this morning's session is about being still and quieting ourselves once again.
Last night, we had a fantastic gospel choir concert. I was responsible for pulling the choir together, and a lot of time, effort, joy, and even some angst went into it. Last night was our first performance, and my voice is a bit hoarse today. We had such a wonderful time praising loudly with the band—there are about 20 of us in the choir.
This morning, I had a real sense of wanting to be still and quiet. I came across this beautiful verse in Psalm 131, which says:
"My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me."
What an interesting analogy, isn’t it? As a mother of three, I’ve experienced weaning with a couple of our children. Our youngest child is adopted, so I didn’t nurse her, but I do feed her.
The analogy is so fascinating because, with little babies, there’s often a restlessness when they’re near their mothers—they always seem ready to nurse. But once they’re weaned, you can sit with them, still and quiet, without that constant need or urgency. It’s a kind of peacefulness that’s very special.
I hadn’t noticed this particular verse in the psalm before, but it struck me today. It inspired me to quiet myself and simply enjoy being still—not even asking God for anything or talking about anything else, but just saying, “Okay, I’m going to still myself and quiet my soul.” In that peaceful place, I could truly experience His presence in a beautiful way.
It was exactly what I needed this morning, and I believe God enjoyed that time with me as well.
Our prayer is that, as we’ve enjoyed this encounter with God this morning, you too will be able to experience His presence. Whether you’re at home or wherever you are, we hope you can use this music to create a moment of stillness and connection.
Many blessings to you.
