Thoughts on Psalm 11
Psalm 11 is about trusting God, even when we are surrounded by the wicked.
The Psalmist starts off by saying that he puts his trust in God. He then asks how one can ask him to flee to a mountain? This is a powerful question. If we trust in God, how can we flee when things get rough?
He then describe how the wicked are ready to kill him. He then makes an interesting comment. “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”. What the Psalmist is saying, is that if the foundations of the law are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
To answer this question, the Psalmist changes topics, and describes how God is in his temple. He describes how God is trying the righteous, and punishing the wicked.
The answer to the Psalmists question is to Trust God. God will punish the wicked, and will protect the righteous.
What about us? Do we have that kind of faith to just trust God, and to face the trials in our lives?
