Romans 12:9-21
Instability in the very foundational principles of this world can cause God’s people great concern and worry. David experienced such a situation in his life, and he shares his thoughts from it in Psalm 11.
The Circumstances Of Psalm 11 • In a moment of trial, David is told to run away from the situation in order to find peace and safety. (vv.1-3) • Instead of running, David acknowledges God’s awareness and power over the situation. (vv.4,5) • David has full confidence that God will bring about justice for those who have been faithful to Him. (vv.6,7) The Lessons We Learn • The righteous solution to the instability of this world is not to shrink away in fear or flee from this world. • God is well aware of what is taking place in this world, and He will hold each person accountable for their actions. • We can live peacefully in knowing that God’s promises remain firm even if the world is falling apart.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ” (Philippians 4:4-7)
