Speaking for myself, I need this Psalm today. Let me share it with you.
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence, His soul hateth.
Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright.
***
The evil men and women of this age will die and be judged; and their works will perish, too. There are foundations that they have no power to destroy. When Christ reigns, we will not be able to find these wicked people.
All those years of adding to, subtracting from, bending, twisting, and mutilating God’s word, the Holy Bible. Turning it into man’s word and stripping it of its power to save.
Now the wicked bend their bow, the ungodly run wild, fully convinced their time has come and they’re going to take over the country.
At least now they’re out in the open where we can see them–if only we refuse to wear the blindfold.
The father in Texas has been ordered to “affirm” that his son is a “girl.” In both cases we have a court dictating to someone what he must say and what he must believe.
Free speech, anyone? “You’ll say what we tell you to say, or else.” Free exercise of religion? “You will believe what we tell you to believe: and you will not believe what we forbid you to believe.”
And I can’t stop thinking, “What next? What are they going to demand of us next?”
I don’t know. It’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. No, it’s worse than that, because the wearer of those shoes seems to be a centipede, with lots and lots of shoes to drop.
The whole power class of the Western world–left-wing politicians, left-wing judges and juries, all the big banks, Hollywood, the nooze media, the colleges and looniversities, the public schools–has gone totally gaga for “transgender.” I don’t know why. What are we supposed to get out of this?
It’s a delusion, it’s a lie, it’s psychosis on a scale the world has never seen before. And it’s profoundly evil–a full-scale revolt against God and His created order, from which we might contract a spiritual pollution.
Where are they going to stop? Will we all be required to “affirm” this lunacy? Will they shut down our churches–don’t laugh: Beto the presidential candidate has already called for this–unless the churches “affirm” sexual confusion and depravity?
We think our Constitution will protect us. Well, Magna Carta doesn’t seem to be protecting anyone in England. Documents of law have no force at all when those who are charged with executing the law simply choose to ignore it.
Psalm 11 asks, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The answer is, “Not much.” But the psalm tells us that there is very much the Lord Himself can do.
Because we have free will, evil empires rise: men and women build them, so that they might prey on others. Because the earth is the Lord’s, no evil empire has ever escaped His judgment. History is heaped high with their wreckage.
The Lord is our defense. Pray harder, sing louder, and proclaim the truth.
