In this second episode of our "Psalms" devotional series, we continue our exploration of Psalm 11, a powerful meditation by King David during a time of crisis. As we face our own challenges and hear the panicked voices around us, this Psalm offers wisdom and encouragement.
Key points:
- Psalm 11 is primarily a meditation, giving us a glimpse into David's inner thoughts during a crisis.
- David begins by declaring, "In the Lord, I take refuge," affirming his trust in God's protection.
- He pushes back against his advisors who urge him to flee in the face of danger, recognizing their panicked voices.
- Despite the foundations appearing to crumble, David chooses not to panic, reminding himself and others that God is sovereign and in control.
- The central question remains, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
- David's response is to focus on the truth that "The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord is on his heavenly throne."
- This Psalm encourages us to trust in God's sovereignty and find refuge in Him, even when we feel overwhelmed by fear and the chaos around us.
