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!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
