TRUSTING IN other people will usually disappoint. This week’s reading in Psalms is timely, giving that we’re less than three weeks away from electing a new president in the United States.
Americans, remember this verse:
Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Psalm 146:3 (ESV)
“A son of man” in this context refers to a human, not to the New Testament “Son of Man,” a messianic title Jesus applied to himself nearly 80 times. The point is that we need to remember, amidst all the distractions of life, that there is only One who “keeps faith forever,” and that is God.
Our questions of the week: How do we apply scripture to our lives, given the way scripture has been “desupernaturalized” since the time of Augustine 1,600 years ago; and do our ancestors become angels when they die, watching over us in our day-to-day lives?
