My soul is a child.

 We are often encouraged to dream big.  Big goals, big accomplishments, big legacies.  And certainly, the awesome God we serve wants to do great and awesome things through us.   But there is also an unhealthy aspect to dreaming big.  It too often feeds off of our own personal ambitions and can quickly turn us into arrogant tyrants.  The psalmist, David, knew what it was to dream big, but he had also learned the blessedness of dreaming small.  "Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty.  I don't concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me.  But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother.  Yes, like a small child is my soul within me." (Psalm 131)

As my soul becomes a child, quiet and dependent in the presence of God, I am in a better place to dream big.

"I am not skilled to understand

What God has willed, what God has planned.

I only know at His right hand

Is One who is my saviour."
