Psalm 11

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 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.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

David knew the Lord. This made the difference in his life. David wasn't perfect and he knew it. The Lord is perfect and David knew that too!

David says, "I'm trusting the Lord- how can you tell my soul to flee to like a bird to your mountain?" Nehemiah knew this trust as well, "Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go."

If the foundations be destroyed... but wait, the foundations of faith can't be destroyed! That's David's point. So why are you worried and why aren't you trusting? God is in His Heavenly Holy Temple, He knows what is going on, He will deal with it, He will reward the righteous [those that by faith have received the righteousness of Christ] for living for Christ out of gratitude for what he did for them AND He will reward the wicked for the wicked unbelief and sin.

A week ago today my brother-in-law and brother in the Lord- Bruce Scott went to be with the Lord unexpectedly [from our point of view]. Ps. 11:7 says, "For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright." For a week now Bruce has beheld the countenance of the Lord... oh what glory!

But just think of stepping on shore and finding it Heaven
Of touching a hand and finding it God's
Of breathing new air and finding it Celestial
Of waking up in Glory and finding it Home.
