What do you do when the world around you seems to be collapsing and the voices around you are screaming \"Run\"?
In this verse-by-verse study of Psalm 11, we tackle one of the most famous questions in scripture: \"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?\". While the natural instinct is to \"flee like a bird to the mountain\" when society crumbles or enemies attack, David teaches us a different response.
This message challenges the advice of the naysayers and reminds us that while the foundations on earth may shake, the throne in heaven has not moved.
In this service, you will learn:
The \"Run Away\" Voices: How to handle the critics and fear-mongers who tell you that your situation is hopeless and you should just escape.
A New Perspective on \"Foundations\": A fresh interpretation of verse 3—is David despairing, or is he defiantly saying, \"Even if the foundations crack, I’m sticking with God\"? .
God’s X-Ray Vision: Why God doesn't even need to open His eyes to see through the enemy's plans (His \"eyelids\" test the sons of men) .
Testing vs. Tempting: The critical theological difference between Satan tempting you (looking for failure) and God testing you (looking for faith) .
The Law of Exposure: A sobering distinction between your sins being \"found out\" (exposed to others) and your sins \"finding you out\" (consequences you can't outrun) .
Don't let the fear of the enemy drive you out of the will of God. The Lord is still in His Holy Temple.
