If The Foundations

We see so much of the moral fiber of this nation being torn down today that we sometimes wonder what to do as the people of God. Biblical marriage is being made a mockery with same sex marriage and government intrusion on the parental rights of parents to raise their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. These are foundations that are critical to the success of any nation, individual or church. Satan is happy when this is the prevailing situation and does everything to promote the continuation of such.

The scriptures are all inspired of God and very appropriately asks the question: “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Notice it is not just what anyone can do but what can the “righteous” do. It is only the righteous that cares what happens in a situation like this. The answer is intimated in the following verse from Psalm 11:4: ” The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.” The Lord is in His holy temple; He is the answer.

The righteous are to continue to do the right things that the scripture commands in spite of what everyone else is doing. The righteous are described as the salt of the earth and a city that is set on a hill. When lights continue to shine as they should, salt will still be there. But what if there is a giving in to the trend away from God. The salt begins to lose its savour and then what is the result? ” Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. ” (Matt. 5:13).

May the righteous  turn on or use their ammunition at the throne of grace and maybe the tide will turn in the direction for the benefit of the Lord’s people.–October 1, 2016–Elder Larry Wise
