Today's Reading
I have love Habakkuk for years today was like a feast on many delicacies. It's hard to imagine one little book that is so oft quoted. The opening captured me...
How long, O Lord , must I call for help?
But you do not listen!
"Violence is everywhere!" I cry,
but you do not come to save.
Must I forever see these evil deeds?
Why must I watch all this misery?
Wherever I look,
I see destruction and violence.
I am surrounded by people
who love to argue and fight.
The law has become paralyzed,
and there is no justice in the courts.
The wicked far outnumber the righteous,
so that justice has become perverted. (Habakkuk 1:2-4 NLT) What an apt description of our time and our land.
Read this little book carefully. Ask God to speak to you through it. Get to the end with the declaration..."yet I will rejoice in the Lord!" God has called us to such a time as this!
