Psalm 131:2 … I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Notice who the calming source is in this verse; it’s the psalmist.  Yes, Jesus is our Prince of Peace, but we have a role in receiving that peace. Observing a weekly Sabbath develops our ability to self-soothe rather than throw spiritual temper tantrums when life goes sideways. Sabbath teaches us calming rhythms that sustain us through the rest of the week.
