Ps 11 3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do ?"
God has established His law that gives the people of the earth the right to call themselves a nation. He has established His law as the standard that cannot be crossed. When the inhabitants cross the line of His law there are natural consequences that have been put into effect in order to slow the process of the destruction. But God never allows the violation to go unpunished. 6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;a scorching wind will be their lot".
From before the foundation of the world God has planned the control of all man through life and death. The Psalmist is teaching that when the law is no longer the standard of society then the righteous will suffer. When they suffer they will logically apply Gods righteous standard and ask why the Lord is not bringing justice.11 3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do ?"
The Lord responds with His explanation of the action that He takes that is mysterious to the Psalmist. We are taught that Gods view of evil is much more detailed and efficient than our view. 5 The LORD examines the righteous,but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates." The Psalmist is teaching that God has determined the events that take place on this earth. Gods response to sin is so bad that we could never understand. God has given each person a soul in which He is the only one who can understand every experience of that person. He can see every physical and spiritual disease. He knows the causes.
But from mans view the experiences of the soul are like deep waters.Man can experience sorrows and diseases of the soul that rise up from these depths. But God is able to describe all of the reasons of the source of these troubles. The Psalmist describes the mysterious experiences in man as cursing or blessing. The Psalmist always compares the struggles that Gods elect have as questions that are answered in Gods perfect government over man and the earth. But the problem is that we cannot fathom the blessing and cursing as God orders every event. 4 The LORD is in his holy temple;the LORD is on his heavenly throne.He observes the sons of men;his eyes examine them."
God never sits still and examines the earth. He has spoken in eternity past as if every event in the future had already taken place. Our questions with the mysterious experiences and events are satisfied in Gods absolute eternal judgement. This judgement is always sure and steadfast because God never moves from the line of blessing and cursing.This is why the gospel loses its power when we lower God and we bring Him down to the way that we would respond to events. Our mysterious experiences that rise up in our souls are only satisfied in God lowering Himself through His word as the method by which He brings cursing and blessing together. We are indwelt by the fullness of God. 5" The LORD examines the righteous,but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates".Gods soul is His prerecorded plan that views the total extent of the destructive actions of wicked men.
