Psalm 11.3 - What Shall the Righteous Do?

Psalm 11.3 - What Shall the Righteous Do?

There seems a grim parallel between the destructions of ISIS and denials in the anti-Christian West. Both have pulverized precious foundations. Ancient sculptures are being demolished by militants who consider them useless relics of the past. Historical treasures shared by the global community for millennia are forever lost. Their Caliphate promises a better future. Similarly, ancient Scriptures are being denied by ministers who claim it is outdated and repressive. Our culture promises a better freedom. Yet, these holy teachings sent to the global community millennia ago are the only way not to be forever lost. The Psalmist asked, “…if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”(11.3). We cannot restore what ISIS has smashed. But God’s Word is incorruptible, unbreakable, and unstoppable. Like King Josiah “discovered” lost Scriptures and Martin Luther declared a forgotten Gospel – we are called to show and speak the living Word of God.
