I’ve now written through chapter 2 of Habakkuk. One thing that I love about tackling little bits of scripture at a time, is being able to meditate on it, and listen to what the Holy Spirit teaches me about it as I go through my week.
As I was writing through chapter one and thinking about how God works, He showed me how His hand played out a situation recently that lined up with just how He worked in Habakkuk’s day.
It blessed my heart. God is still loving people, and being perfect in every way just like He was in Habakkuk’s day. He still reigns in the affairs of men. He still uses situations that we would never attribute to His plan…to perfectly accomplish His plan. His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9) and completely trustworthy even when we don’t understand.
Chapter 2 starts with Habakkuk saying he is going to stand watch like a guard expecting Gods answer, and he will practice some self-examination and guard his words when he answers.
God tells him to write the vision and to make it plain! He says “though it tarry”, and “it will not tarry”. Gods just telling him that it will seem like tarrying to him, but God knows it will not be one moment past the time appointed!
God goes on to list the 5 woes that are directed at the Chaldeans (or Babylonians). (Verses 6, 9, 12, 15, & 19.)
I’ll post a little more about the woes a little later.
Are those of you who are writing along, still in?
