Habakkuk 3, Isaiah 55, Revelation 9
What God said to me – Judgment was coming, and Habakkuk knew it. Not only had he prophesied it, but he knew Me and He knew My character so he waited quietly before Me knowing an invasion was coming and his people would be devastated. While he waited, he purposed in his heart to exult in Me – to rejoice in Me because I was the God of his salvation, even when the judgment was not because of his sin, but because of his nation’s sin. When I make the decision to execute judgment on a nation because of its sin there is sometimes a remnant of My children, like Habakkuk, who suffer the consequences of their nation’s sin. Never forget that all that happens to My children is for their good and My glory so be like Habakkuk in whatever circumstance you find yourself and purpose in your heart to exult In Me, the God of your salvation. I will be your strength and peace throughout it all.
