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...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
