Daily Lesson for January 13, 2015

Today's daily lesson comes from Psalm 11 verses 1 through 4:

In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
“Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”

4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord's throne is in heaven;
his eyes see . . .

In a world whose heart has turned in upon itself because of terror,
Where shuttering ourselves and sloughing our freedoms
Seem so necessary,
When running away from our foundations 
Is now the responsible thing to do,
There is still yet another option -- 
That is to remind each other:
The Lord is in His Temple.
