When everything you stand for feels like it's being torn down, why keep showing up? Why not just step back, soften your convictions, and quit?
In Psalm 11, David faces that exact temptation. Saul is hunting him, the wicked have arrows notched in the dark, and his closest friends are telling him to flee to the mountains. The voice in his ear sounds reasonable: the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
This message walks through David's answer for anyone who has ever felt like faithfulness no longer matters. Psalm 11 shows why the righteous don't run: because God still reigns from his holy temple, because his eyes never leave the silver in the fire, and because one day every faithful follower of Christ will behold his face.
If you've been tempted to give up, this Psalm is for you.
