Please read Psalm 11.

Meditate on verse 7.
For the LORD is righteous;
He loves righteousness.
The upright will behold His face.
Observe the contrasts between the righteous and the wicked
in this psalm, and observe actions and attributes of God. God hates the person
who loves violence (v. 5). This truth about God may surprise you, but it is an
important doctrine to remember and to teach others who may think that God’s
love is not capable of reproach or hate. There are things and people God hates;
you do not want to do or be one of them.
David knew that God loves righteousness and hates evil.
These foundational truths cannot be destroyed, so David took refuge in the LORD
from the attacks of the wicked. The LORD was his foundation; there was no need
to fear the attacks of the wicked blindly shooting arrows in the dark (vs.
1-3).
God is testing you (vs. 4-5), so you must examine yourself.
In whom or what do you take refuge? Are you a person who loves violence, or do
you love righteousness? Are you upright because you have a relationship with
Jesus?
Pray Psalm 11:1 and 7 over yourself and those for whom you
stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“In You, LORD, __________ and I take refuge. We will flee to You!
LORD, You are righteous; You love righteousness.
Make us upright; we want to behold Your face!
In Your name, Jesus~”
