Psalm 11:3 – “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Recently as I read and considered what I was reading, my prayers, pondering, and musing caused me to contemplate what Psalm 11 speaks of – “Destroyed Foundations.”

In that time of meditation and praying, I asked the Lord, “What Foundations?” The response in my mind was that many need to be guarded and restored. Some foundations are moral sanctity, the home and family, the foundation of wisdom, human government, and justice and righteousness.

The foundations are many, but if the foundation of our relationship and trusting God is weakened or destroyed, we are being hurled headlong into the abyss of destruction. That is true in all the foundations.

My mind turned to Psalm 2 and the nations and heathen raging.   The Psalmist’s question was – “Why?”  Why are they doing that?  Why do they hate God, the things of God, God’s people, and God’s Word?  Why do they hate moral sanctity and seek to evict God from everything?  “Why” – They are deceived and driven by Sin! Yes, I said Sin!

Immediately Psalm 1 exploded in my consciousness, and I rejoiced as I considered the contrast in the directive not to do various things.  The contrast is that if I do not do those things, I should be doing the opposite. The person living in the Blessings of God is the one who Does Not follow the world’s pathway and the prevalent declension and depravity. Instead, they are seeking God!

The Directive is:

• DO NOT – – Walk in the counsel of the wicked; stand in the way (follow the path) of those outside the family of God; nor sit in the seat of the scoffer (the doubter).
• DO – Delight in God’s Word, God’s Person, God’s Power, and God’s Purpose. Meditate, Study, Examine, and become one with His Word. Make that your daily pursuit and keep it before you night and day!
• THEN – You will become like a firmly planted tree by the Streams of the Water of Life! You will be productive and fruitful. You will not succumb to the mindset of uselessness due to age but will flourish and be strong, prospering in all you do!

WHY? Because you are in Him, and He is in you! You are abiding in Him, and His Word is abiding in you. You are a new creation, born-again, filled with His Spirit and Love! You are more than a conqueror! You are victorious!

That is How God sees you, but how do you see yourself? If you follow the negative pathway described in Psalm 1, you will cease to trust God. You will become those who trust the arm of flesh rather than the arm of God because you have not been saturated in His Word and His Spirit.

It is time to refocus and seek Him!  When we do, we will see our lives take a dramatic turn, and with confidence, we will be able to possess the promises and enforce the victory of Calvary!  I urge you to consciously decide to be who God says you are, not what you see others or the devil say.  I encourage you to believe God and receive the Promises as yours today.

Today is your day to begin a new walk of victory!  It may not be easy, but it is possible!  It will not be without opposition, but He overcame the world, and He is in you; therefore, you have overcome the world, too!

I pray that God will enlighten your eyes to see, your mind to understand, and your heart to follow Him fully.  I pray for healing, deliverance, and productivity and that you will prosper and be healthy even as your soul prospers.  I pray for a day; no, I pray for a lifetime of Victory!

God bless you, and have a fantastic day and keep looking up, for our Redemption is near!
