Psalm 11

Psalm 11

In the LORD I take refuge. The Psalm asks, When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do (v3)? God is still in his temple, he is still on the throne. When you are persecuted, depressed and the world has collapsed around you God is still in the same place. Nothing in heaven has changed. The one place you can put your trust to always be what it says is in Christ. The upright will see his face. How do you know if you are upright? Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me." Do you know you will see his face at the end of this life or will fiery coals and burning sulfur rain on you? This isn't just for people who are murderers and thiefs. God will only accept those given to Christ to be in His presence. For in Christ alone are we made clean enough to be brought into the Holy of Holies.
