Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Read – Psalm 105 Psalm 105 rehearses much of the same story as Psalm 78 but from a much more positive point of view. Psalm 105 has a twin, Psalm 106, which once again shades the story in more negative tones. These Psalms are important because they crystalize the story for us. The OT is a long and sometimes difficult book to read. Psalms like these and other summaries of the OT story help us get the story without wading through so many words. Some other summaries in the Bible are the following : Deuteronomy 6:20-24, Deuteronomy 26:5-9, Joshua 24:2-13, Nehemiah 9:6-31, and Psalm 136. In the NT, along with Stephen’s speech, Hebrews 11 provides a good summary.
