“O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me. Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me. O Israel, hope in the Lord From this time forth and forever.” Psalm 131:1-3 NASB 95

It is the Master, the Messiah, that you are serving.” Colossians 3:17, 23-24 NTFE
