What can the righteous do?

I was reading Psalm 11 and verse 3 says, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Now I know that the foundations are being destroyed. Marriage is under attack, the family is under attack, the church and governments are under attack. Everything seems to have come under attack. Marriage and family are being redefined, the church to many has lost its relevance, the government has many scandals. Often we shake our heads and say as the Psalmist said, "What can the righteous do?" The answer is found in the next verse which reminds us that God is still in control. He has not abdicated His throne. The prophet Habakkuk told us that the righteous must live by faith. It is not hopeless, have faith, live by faith, remember God is in His holy temple.
