Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Friday, May 31, 2013 Read – Psalm 11 Psalm 11 invites us to remember again that God is in control in a world that sometimes appears to be out of control. Of course that does not mean that God does everything and human beings have no responsibility or no power. God chooses to make human beings really significant. But human beings are not on the same level as God. Human beings have power but it is a limited power. God remains supreme. I am drawn to verse 4. The words of the psalmist bring assurance to us. The first followers of Jesus may well have taken courage from the words of a Psalm like this one. Their lives were nurtured through their use of the OT.
