Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might, knowing that our Lord has stated: “I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.
Let us therefore be sober-minded and watchful, knowing the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Let us also pray without ceasing!
Let us ‘REMAIN’ and ‘WATCH’ knowing the privileged position he has placed us in!
We can rest assured that God has brought us to His banqueting house and His banner over us is love
Living worthy of the gospel is what God expects of every Christian. Many people have set examples of what this should look like. The Apostle Paul is one of them.
Just as God held these people accountable, He will hold us accountable. While we may not be guilty of the same sins – we are all sinners. However, God, in love sent his Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) to die for our sins and He willingly experienced the judgement we rightly deserve.
Habakkuk’s testimony inspires us to remain faithful to God, knowing that He is faithful. It serves as a reminder that no matter how deep our despair may be, God will never abandon us and has a plan that will preserve and prosper us. It also reassures us that He will always help us, His timing is perfect, and He will use difficult situations to bring us closer to Him by revealing more of Himself and His ways to us.
Habakkuk’s testimony reminds us that we should always speak to God when we are in despair. Let us never lose faith in our faithful God no matter how hard things might be. Instead, we should reinforce our faith by telling him our complaints and concerns.
In contrast to the Lord Jesus Christ, we, are sinners and as a result, are destined to spend eternity experiencing the wrath of God. If we believe that he died for our sins our destiny changes – we receive eternal life.
