Last part: A little child’s attitudes
If we are humble, then we care about other people. David cared about the people in his nation, called Israel. He was the king, but he still cared about all the people. In Psalm 131:3, he urged them all to trust God. They should trust God now. They should trust God constantly. They should trust God always.
They had to be humble. Israel should not put its hope in its military strength, or its young people, or its wealth. Other nations put their hope in those things; but God’s people should not. And Israel’s people should not put their hope in themselves; their skill, intelligence, or money. Other people put their hope in those things; but God’s people should not.
Instead, the people should put their hope in God. He was their defender; he was their provider. He is Israel’s God.
