A Weaned Child | Psalm 131:2b

A weaned child is a child who's done nursing. That's what the word means, and that's as far as the psalm takes it. David doesn't tell us how old the child is, or how the weaning went, or whether there were hard nights. He gives us one picture, a weaned child with his mother, and then he says that's what his soul is like inside him.

Some of you prayed for something this year that changed. The answer came differently than you asked, or it came as a no, or it hasn't come at all. The weaned child in the psalm is simply with his mother. You can be with the Lord like that, with the request settled or not, and you don't have to leave the room to be welcome in it.
