War rages in Gaza. Russia presses on against its neighbors. Nations realign, and global tension rises. Fear whispers of a third world war. Psalm 11:3 asks a crucial question: What can the righteous do when the foundations collapse? When peace, morality, and order fall apart, God&#8217;s people must not freeze in fear\u2014they must rise in faith.<\/p>\n<p>Scripture gives us firm ground. Proverbs 10:30 says, \u201cThe righteous will never be shaken.\u201d David declared, \u201cI have set the Lord always before me\u2026 I shall not be moved\u201d (Ps 16:8). Noah obeyed in chaotic times. Daniel prayed under political pressure. The early church thrived during persecution. In uncertain times, the righteous don\u2019t retreat\u2014they stand rooted in truth and anchored in God\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time to trust in the Lord (Ps 11:1), take refuge in Him, and remain unshaken. Jesus foretold wars and rumors of wars (Matt 24:6) but told us not to be troubled. Though the systems of this world may crumble, God\u2019s Kingdom remains unshaken (Heb 12:28). When foundations fall, our faith must rise\u2014not in fear, but in confidence that our God still reigns.<\/p>\n<p>Further Readings:<br \/>\n* Psa 16:8<br \/>\n* Mat 24:6<br \/>\n* Heb 12:28<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude4f Blessed Day \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psa 11:3 \u201cWhen the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?\u201d The world today feels increasingly unstable.
