What Do Psalms 131 and 132 Reveal About God's Character? (Psalm 131-132) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

Today we study Psalm 131 and Psalm 132 together and look at what they reveal about who God is. Psalm 131 shows quiet, humble trust, and Psalm 132 shows a God who chooses to dwell with His people. My prayer is that these truths move from your head down into your heart.

"This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it." (Psalm 132:14)

Questions this episode answers

What is the meaning of Psalm 131?

Psalm 131 is a short Psalm of David about humility and quiet trust. He says he has calmed and quieted his soul like a weaned child with its mother. It invites us to rest in God instead of trying to figure everything out.

What does Psalm 132:14 mean?

In Psalm 132, God says Zion is His resting place and that He desires to dwell there. It shows that God chooses to be present with His people. For believers today, that promise points to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit living in us.
