Calmed and Quieted Soul

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.  (Psa 131:2)

‘Surely’ is a certainty and being in a state of doubtlessness that we can attain as God’s child. It is not to be considered waveringly but steadfastly. Our certainty is not in ourselves but because we are ‘rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith’ (Col 2:7), abounding with thanksgiving because it is a done deal. There isn’t a need to ask if we can; faith is bringing into substance that we can, in Christ. If we say we will ‘try’, then it is of the flesh and not of the Spirit (Eze 36:27). There is a cause because the Spirit is effectual.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.  (Php 4:9)

We will subconsciously enter into the Shalom of God. There is an overwhelming benefit of experiencing the Peace of God as well as having the God of Peace being with us. We become what we feed our minds (Phil 4:8). Fill our minds with truth, honesty, justice, purity, loveliness, good report, virtuous and praise worthiness. Regurgitate on these things. The only things is of any worth has the essence of Christ in them. Be utterly dependent on Christ (1 Cor 2:16) and we will know how to deal with the rest (Matt 6:33). Defeat begins in the mind; we have the God given privilege as sons to be overcomers.
