Psalms 11:1-7
Dear Brethren,
Good Morning!
There will be times in our lives when living a godly life may be more challenging than at other times. We may even be tempted to give up and not take the path of righteousness. There might even be people within our lives who may counsel us to take the easier path, choosing sin or inactivity over righteous action.
When we face those challenging moments within our lives as Christians, we must always remember to keep our trust in the Lord. We cannot run away or flee as a bird to our mountains. While it is true that the wicked are taking aim at the "upright in heart," we must trust in the Lord and be not moved. We are to remember, as did David, that the Lord is watching over us from heaven. The Lord, who is righteous, looks upon the righteous and the upright. The Lord will surely punish the wicked, while protecting those who are righteous.
Here is Psalms 11:1-7 presented for your consideration.
Psalms 11:1-7
1 In the LORD I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations are 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 test the sons of men.
5 The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.
In Love,
John Duvall
