GOD, I’m not trying to rule the roost,

I don’t want to be king of the mountain.

I haven’t meddled where I have no business

or fantasized grandiose plans.

I’ve kept my feet on the ground,

I’ve cultivated a quiet heart.

Like a baby content in its mother’s arms,

my soul is a baby content.

Wait, Israel, for GOD. Wait with hope.

Hope now; hope always!

PSALM 131

Humility is the obverse side of confidence in God, whereas pride is the obverse side of confidence in self.

JOHN BAILLIE
