When evil advances and the darkness thickens all around, when enemies not only rule everywhere but also “destroy the foundations,” annihilating the very moral foundations of human existence, the Lord remains unshakable. The scarcely visible point that faith appears to be in the hearts of the faithful remnant becomes the bridgehead from which the liberation of the world enslaved by sin can begin.

Evil may triumph and win visible victories, but the Lord rises above them, remaining an impregnable stronghold. What the wicked have done will inevitably return upon them, and the more impressive evil’s temporary victories, the more crushing its defeat will be.

When we look around, we see an evident injustice reigning in the world of order (or almost disorder!), we see a visible "blockiness" of the criteria of evaluation by people for their behavior. Finally, we glance into ourselves - and it is impossible for us not to be dismay of our motives and thoughts. The psalmist diagnoses all this: the foundations are destroyed. The philosopher Merab Mamardashvili spoke about the "anthropological disaster", consisting in the same – destroyed foundations, foundation of what is human in man. The period of the obvious or unobvious dominion of materialism in the human world-view has replaced the real spiritual foundations of the human personality - material, physical, carnal.

Even in comparison with the period of heathen, it is a disaster, because then there was a substitution of the real spirituality to the wrong, but now spirituality is practically rejected (You should not consider ideology as spirituality). Man sees no more any meaning in the notions "God", "truth", "sin", "salvation" etc. And not seeing the meanings, seek not either the truth, or salvation, and does not turn away from sin to God.

What can the righteous do in this situation? Probably, simply "be not of the world", be not as everybody, keep the faith and faithfulness, being therefore the "canal", by which the grace of God reaches this world, and according to the words of the prophet Ezekiel " go up on the hedge of the house " so that does not die the land. In whole, all this means – living a life of Christ.
