Today's scripture: Psalm 11:1-3
We are in a battle. A very real battle. And it's not the "wars and rumors
of wars" that were prophesied about (Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7). No. We who
follow Christ are in a war with those who would demean or destroy our faith.
Throughout the world, Christ-followers are being ridiculed, persecuted, and
martyred, just because they choose to proclaim the truth of the Bible. Many,
many times, it seems like the enemy is winning ... and it feels like our
"foundations are destroyed."
Today's psalm asks a question: "What can the righteous do?" We'll
elaborate on this more on Friday, but the answer is already there: "In the
Lord I put my trust ..."
When the battles are fierce, when everyone around us tells us we're wrong, when
the world's values seem to be overtaking everything ... then the only thing we
can do is trust the One who created all things. The One who is in loving,
sovereign control. The One who knows exactly what's happening in each and every
life.
The One who loves us more than we can imagine and far more than we deserve.
