Habakkuk 2:14
The word of God was never intended to be concealed or stored away within you… The bible declares that God desires for all men to come to know Him and be saved… The greatest work for all followers of Christ is to spread His word wherever we go and whenever the opportunity presents itself… The things that you endure in life are a witness of your faith and God’s faithfulness; you have been through a lot of storms and may be battling with the enemy as we speak, remind yourself that all people will have a (n) opportunity to know “of the glory of the Lord” and sometimes this comes about through your struggles… Despite the way things are done according to today’s standards, no matter how ridiculous things may appear to be according to the opinions of misguided leadership, the bible calls us to be encouraged in these chaotic times because we have faith and are assured that “the earth shall be filled with knowledge…”
People will come to know that there is only one God, people will come to realize the error of their ways and despite how many people may come against you, you can claim victory and extend a hand of love and peace toward them because you know that the God you serve will have His name revealed and revered before all mankind… This is why the bible declares that “at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess that He is Lord…” You might have a lot of people around you doing what they want to do, you might have a lot of friends that criticize your faith and appear to be doing better than you are today; however, through this passage taken from Habakkuk you can stand strong against the attacks which want to tear down your faith and push you back to what you were before you came to know who the living God was… The way things appear to be may not be the reality of what they are… The message of Habakkuk the minor prophet is one that challenges the wayward man as well as the man of faith… The wayward man is challenged to repent and turn before it is too late…
The man of faith is called to take his foundation of faith and build upon it through the removal of any traces of doubt forming a solid trust in the absolute ability and authority of God… Make no mistake about it, all manner of man; all forms of religious beliefs will be visited by the move of God… Again, the bible declares that in the last days preceding judgment that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess… As a Christian we thrive upon this message which assures us that the devil has not won, nor has God withdrew himself from us. Habakkuk reminds us of this same principal today as it is penned in our focus verse; surely we can look at this world today and can see how many people have strayed away from God. Violence upon one another is spiraling out of control, kids are falling by the wayside daily, and the church has become an institution instead of a place of worship. Yes we can agree that these times and days we live in seem as if the earth has chosen its course and God has been alienated from our journey.
Take courage as a child of God that you can still impact your community, you can still alter your society and the way this is done is found ten verses prior to this one… The word of God informs us that “the just shall live by faith…” Continue to pray, continue to fast, continue to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling… This passage reminds us once again that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; even in the midst of chaos and confusion, betrayal and corruption, the will of God will be manifested in these very times. God’s plan for you and for this season will be active and run its course. More importantly, when it is all said and done everyone shall know of the God you serve, everyone shall bare witness to His awesome power and might, everyone shall see His glory and sovereignty! David was not given a chance against Goliath, but God manifested His power and showed that David had an advocate. Daniel faced destruction in the lions den, but was exalted to a higher position in the kingdom; Jonah was thrown overboard, but was really thrown into God’s will and plan! Chaos brings about God’s faithfulness! So understand that even in these times of uncertainty (looking at today) know that God will be exalted, and you will surely be caught up with Him! The earth SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
