Psalm 11:3
The answer to David's question is that we must do the same thing that the righteous have always done: Be righteous. Obey God's commandments. When adversity comes, we cannot allow ourselves to abandon all we have learned as Christians and fight back with the carnality we worked so hard to overcome. As the apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:26, we can “be angry, [but] not sin.” We cannot let exterior turmoil derail our progress toward the Kingdom of God.

Psalm 11:3
The doctrines are our foundation. It is what we believe that produces the faith. If the doctrines are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
