show moreHow to Get Out of a Funk According to Psalm 131, a Psalm of ascent by David.
#1: Choose to humble yourself.
Psalm 131:1a: “My heart is not proud, Lord, my eyes are not haughty.”
Getting out of a funk is heart work and heart work always starts with a posture of surrender.
How can we do this? Empty ourselves and humble ourselves before God. Ask HIM to help you.
#2: Choose to let go.
Psalm 131:1b “I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful me.”
Let go of things we cannot control, i.e.: the pandemic, people getting sick, the economy, etc...
What can we do? We cannot control these things, but we can control how we react and how we love others in spite of what’s going on around us.
#3: Choose to be content.
Psalm 131:2, “But I have calmed and quieted myself; I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.”
Choose to calm and quiet our minds, and do not allow negative thoughts to run wild in our heads.
How do we do this? Spend time with God, be STILL before Him, and find contentment in Him.
4. Choose to tell others.
Psalm 131:3, “Israel put your hope in the LORD both now and forever more.”
When we encourage others, when we share the love of Christ, and when we share the hope that can be found in Christ, we are more often than not encouraged ourselves.
How can we do this? Live out the second Greatest Commandment: love your neighbor, and the Great Commission: Go and make disciples.
