We had a powerful Worship Service at The Spoken Word Church today! Then I read Habakkuk in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. Look at Habakkuk 1:3-4:
3 Why do You show me iniquity and wrong, and Yourself look upon or cause me to see perverseness and trouble? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention arises. 4 Therefore the law is slackened and justice and a righteous sentence never go forth, for the [hostility of the] wicked surrounds the [uncompromisingly] righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
Remember, there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)! The same old devils are doing the same old evil things and telling the same old lies! WE, however, have the same wonderful, all powerful, all knowing, all loving God! HE said THIS in verse 5:
5 Look around [you, Habakkuk, replied the Lord] among the nations and see! And be astonished! Astounded! For I am putting into effect a work in your days [such] that you would not believe it if it were told you.
And THAT was under the Old Covenant, to people who did NOT have the Spirit of God living IN them! WE have a better Covenant that is based on better promises than Habakkuk had (Hebrews 8:6)! We KNOW that "where sin abounds, grace MUCH MORE abounds" (Romans 5:20)!
When it SEEMS like all hell is breaking loose on the earth, remember that there is only ONE Who is King of all kings and LORD of all lords! HIS Name is JESUS! AMEN! His is in control and when we obey His Word, are led by His Spirit and spend time daily in intimate fellowship with Him, we WILL come out victorious every time! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with a song that has been rising up in me all day, called "I Desire Jesus":
Shalom in Him!
