Today's verse is Psalm 11:3
If the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
In this day, in my nation, yea, throughout the western world, the loudest voices have forgotten God, even denied him, and his ways, having, as he has said, given themselves over to all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. So, we have the answer of what happens when the foundations are destroyed. But of the righteous, what can they do? Even take refuge in the one that sees, even as we have this promise in the next verse: the Lord is in his temple, /The lord’s throne is in heaven: /His eyes behold, /His eyelids try, the children of men. What can the righteous do? They can Stand, and having done all, To Stand! For God is still on the Throne, and we all must still give an account unto him. Therefore, let us not be ashamed of him, that he is not ashamed of us, as we seek for the Son to be our Advocate when we stand before the Father, the Righteous Judge. Amen.
To God be the Glory
