Meaning in Psalm 131
Alfred D. Byrd
HIGHER than eyes can see is the Throne
On which our God considers secrets.
Many may tell you, "We know these things,"
But much lies hidden beyond our sight
To keep us from pride that knows no bounds
And calls our neighbors liars and fools.
Conceit is hateful to God, our King,
And boasting poisons the well of trust.
Our God supplies us with minds to search,
As well as hearts to love and accept.
We should learn as much as sight reveals,
But come to rest untroubled in God.
A child that seeks a mother's embrace
Is wiser than one engulfed in pride.
The hope of those called out by our God
Is mercy and grace, the gift of love.
