A reminder to pray, as one, for all; loved ones, believers, local churches, marriages, families, nations, Ukraine, Russia, those in authority & for Israel’s peace.
“The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw… O Lord, how long shall I cry, & You will not hear?… iniquity, trouble, plundering, violence, strife, contention, law is powerless, justice never goes forth, wicked surround the righteous, perverse judgment proceeds… “
(God encourages Habakkuk that by being faithful & obedient to God):
“The just will live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4)”
(…& the righteous remnant will be delivered & rescued despite the evil done by the arrogant).
(God gives Habakkuk a vision of what the “Anointed One,” will do as His people trust & obey Him):
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).”
(Habakkuk is inspired praying as “The just living by faith” for revival & for mercy):
“O Lord, revive Your work… remember mercy… Your glory covered the heavens, & the earth was full of Your praise… I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength
(Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:4,14; 3:2,3,18,19) Amen.”
