Psalms 115:6-11 NLT

They have ears but cannot hear, 

and noses but cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel, 

and feet but cannot walk,

and throats but cannot make a sound.

And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

O Israel,

trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

O priests,

descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

All you who fear the Lord, 

trust the Lord! 

He is your helper and your shield.

Psalms 115:6-11 NLT 

The psalmist is reminding those who we think shouldn't need reminding to trust in our God.

Those who have experienced the redemption of the nation from slavery.

The priests, the religious professionals whose job it is to trust in God.

All of us at times need reminding, because of 2 things:

Stuff happens. Tragedy, loss, hurt, sadness, things that threaten our faith. Stuff happens in our life that we can't make sense of.

And we're human, we don't always get it right, stay the course, and we need one another to hold us when we don't.

So the psalmist reminds us not to put our faith in lifeless things, but in Life itself.

The One who is Light, Life, the One who is our hope.
