IF...Then WHAT?

Psalm 11:3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Think about that today. What can you, as a follower of the LORD JESUS, do today in light of the crumbling erosion of the foundations in our world today? Will you allow the erosion to seep into your life? Will you allow it to change your attitude and your focus? OR will you choose to fall on your face before the SOVEREIGN GOD, who reached HIS HOLY hands down into the dirt and fashioned and formed you, and cry out to HIM.
In the margin of my Bible next to Psalm 11:3 I have written Isaiah 58:12. In light of an eroding spiritual foundation GOD calls for HIS people to fast and pray.

Isaiah 58:6-12 Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke? Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then Your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth, and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; You will cry, and HE will say, "Here I am." If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday. And the LORD will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

Clearly we live in a day of wickedness and bondage. GOD has given us a the power to break the cords of bondage that bind us. Take a few minutes and slowly read the six verses above. Ask the FATHER to write these truths on your heart. You see, as long as we choose to embrace our empty religious rituals we will remain a people in bondage with eroding foundations. Make note of the times in the above verses that the Holy Spirit through the pen of Isaiah says, "IF...THEN"

I close this morning with the same verse I opened with. If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?
We can TRUST the GOD who made us and fall on our faces before HIM and ask HIM to break the chains and cords that bind us to our religiosity. Let's give up our religious pursuits and run after the LORD JESUS with every fiber of our being. Let's be followers of CHRIST.
