The Lord is in His holy temple

If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do? The LORD is in His holy temple, The LORD's throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. – Psalm 11v3-4

Today's thought goes a long way to explain why yesterday's is possible. How do we just keep on going when the foundations are destroyed. How do we respond with 'what can we not do' instead what are we going to do'?

The Lord is in His holy temple.

The Lord's throne is in heaven

The Lord doesn't miss anything

When everything else falls apart there is something that we can hold on to. History is in a constant state of flux. Sometimes wickedness reigns and sometimes there is relative morality and 'rightness.' One thing we know for sure is that there is no stability in the things and ways of the world. There is no earthly foundation that we can trust.

But God is in His holy temple. While everything else changes and falls apart God is still in His temple. While the foundations collapse God is still on His throne. When we think all is lost God is still watching out for His own.

We can keep on going because God keeps on going with us. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When the foundations collapse the Lord is still in control.
