The LORD is in his holy temple; The Lord’s throne is in heaven. Psalm 11:4
God is still on the throne! You may be experiencing fear or frustration, but God is not in a panic. You may not be able to put things right when the foundations are destroyed, but God can. You can’t deal with the wicked, but God can, and He will.
David overcomes his fear, his frustration, and his temptation to despair by fixing his mind and his heart on God. Here’s how he takes refuge in God. Here’s how he fixes his eyes on the Lord:
The Lord is in his holy temple (11:4)
The Lord’s throne is in heaven (11:4)
His eyes see (11:4)
The Lord tests the righteous (11:5)
His soul hates the wicked (11:5)
Let him rain coals on the wicked (11:6)
For the Lord is righteous (11:7)
He loves righteous deeds (11:7)
The foundations of righteousness do not lie in our culture. They never have. The foundations of righteousness lie in who God is and in what God loves. God is still on the throne!
Take some time now and fix your mind and heart on God. Take refuge in God. Fix your eyes on the Lord.
