Nowadays I receive daily reports of unrest from many regions on Planet Earth. So Psalm 11:5 seems especially relevant. "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" The rest of the psalm suggests that the LORD punishes those who spend their time doing evil. Those who spend their time hungering and thirsting for righteousness can put their trust in the LORD, because "the upright will see his face." (Psalm 11:7c)
Those who love justice, as the LORD does, can work for justice, too. Those who claim love for and allegiance with the LORD can defend the defenseless, raise up the fallen, and nourish the hungry. In doing so, I believe, we will see the face of God.
