Justice and Faith

“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:2).

Even as life seems confusing your faith sustains you. Accept that God is holy and just. His deliverance comes to you now as your patience has pleased Him. Anticipate His blessing soon to come.

In the Book of Habakkuk the prophet Habakkuk asked questions of injustice of God and God answered him. Have you ever asked God; “Why?” Why did this or that have to happen to me? Why did You allow this curse to come upon me? We likely have all asked God why at some point in our lives. I am thankful that God is patient with me! Habakkuk, in his time, appraised the faithfulness of every generation past and future that the perceived conditions of their present is never to be construed as the true and ultimate state of affairs. Habakkuk was told by God His righteous may have to wait but His justice will come. The Scripture at the top of this page (Habakkuk 2:2) declares that; the just live by faith, and so they do!

We must have faith to endure all of our troubles and any injustice that comes our way. God is working a plan. Abraham waited patiently for God (Hebrews 6:13-15), so must we as believers wait. God is going to fulfill His will for your life. “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed faith to faith” (Romans 1:17). Read more of this Scripture in your Bible.

In closing, the dialogue we read in Habakkuk was between God and one of his prophets. It was written for the people of Judah but, I believe serves the people of God today. Have faith in God knowing there is nothing in your life He isn’t already aware of. Pray to Him for any injustice you may feel in your personal life, your family relationships, your job or anywhere else. Trust in His justice for He is about to do a new thing for you.

God will heal your feelings of injustice because your faith declares He will do it!

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...
