Psalm 11
Verse 3 is the linchpin: "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
If we place our faith in rules and laws and in our country's government, we will eventually be disappointed. Rules are broken, laws are twisted and politicians and judges place their own thoughts above God's. This is happening today, and it seems like it's constant. So when our foundations are being destroyed, what are the righteous supposed to do? Protest? Take over the government? Sue the rule-breakers? What does David suggest?
Trust the Lord. He is in heaven watching what is going on. He sees and will be a just judge. This doesn't mean that we should ignore any earthly justice, but the Christian shouldn't be discouraged when the bad guys win and the good guys lose. God will make all things right in His time. Often that time is after the good and the bad have each left the earth.
"For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; upright men will see His face."
