我們人容易進入兩個極端：不是心志高遠，恨不得為主成就大事；就是心存過度謙卑，事奉上這樣不行那樣不做。要取得合乎中道，我們需要「與神同行」––– 不走在神的前面，卻也不落在神後太遠。就如同大衛在這裡說到自己並不自把自為，而是平靜安穩如小兒安躺母親懷裡。
走在神的前面，即使所做的是對的事，時間卻未必對。好事反倒成了壞事。落在神的後頭，卻是對神要做、或正在做的事情毫無感覺，以致失去與神同工的福分。我們卻要在主裡仰望父神，隨時回應祂的呼召。
建議討論：
- 「耶和華阿！我的心不狂傲，我的眼不高大，重大和測不透的事，我也不敢行。」(131:1, 和合本)
思想：什麼是重大和測不透的事？由誰判斷？為什麼？
- 「我的心平穩安靜，好像斷過奶的孩子在他母親的懷中；我的心在我裡面真像斷過奶的孩子。」(131:2, 和合本)
思想：「斷過奶」與「未斷奶」的孩子有什麼不同？為什麼大衛會以「斷過奶的孩子」來形容自己的心？

Suggested Discussion:
- “Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes arrogant; nor do I involve myself in great matters, or in things too difficult for me.” (131:1, NASB)
Q: What are the great matters and difficult things? Who judges? Why?
- “I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child resting against his mother, my soul within me is like a weaned child.” (131:2, NASB)
Q: What is the difference between “weaned” and “unweaned” children? Why did David describe his heart as a “weaned child”?
