Habakkuk 2
We often see wickedness all around us and we question how God can allow wickedness to exist - yet we must recognize that sin exists in the world since the beginning from The Fall.
Habakkuk questions how Judah can get away with such wickedness.
God responds to Habakkuk's (chapter 1) plea for justice by handing over Judah to the Chaldeans (Babylonians). God also reassures us that our focus should be on ourselves (do not judge) and that God sees all sin (nothing is hidden) and sin does not go unpunished. See also my recent post on Nahum 1.
Help me God live a righteous life by faith.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who sees everything and rules with perfect justice - what a great God You are. Thank You for Your unending love. I am not worth the love of a God such as You. I daily miss the mark. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright—but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness[.] v4
