CHRISTIANS, HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE HABAKKUK??? Habakkuk 1:1-11 (NKJV) 1 The burden[a] which the prophet Habakkuk saw. The Prophet’s Question 2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” And You will not save. 3 Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises. 4 Therefore the law is powerless, And justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds. The Lords Reply 5 “Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you. 6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation Which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 7 They are terrible and dreadful; Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, And more fierce than evening wolves. Their chargers charge ahead; Their cavalry comes from afar; They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat. 9 “They all come for violence; Their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand. 10 They scoff at kings, And princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it. 11 Then his mind[b] changes, and he transgresses; He commits offense, Ascribing this power to his god.” Christians, many times we ask God questions and like Habakkuk we dont like the answers. God told his prophet he was going to deal with his disobedient children in a way that they would have never imagined. Even though he sent many prophets to warn the Israelites about their life-style, they did not heed his warnings. Sounds familiar, actually they sound exactly like us today. Many know Jesus is on the way back but still they will not listen. Family, dont be like the Israelites, your spirit depends on it.
