Habakkuk 3:2 (NIV)
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD.
Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
The book of Habakkuk
is a book of both prophecy and judgment. The main message to Judah was to warn
them the wicked would not prevail, and to remind them God is in control.
Today is a day we celebrate Independence Day. It was
the Revolutionary War that allowed our nation to throw off the burden of
monarchy and recognize the God-given inalienable rights of life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. While governments may think they are in control, it
is
Almighty God who has ultimate control. Wickedness will receive God’s
wrath, but his mercy will come to those who trust in him.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
We see those around
us whose actions do not honor you, but we know they will not prevail. We ask
your forgiveness when we fail to remember that you are in control. We humbly
thank you for your mercy.
In Christ’s name we
pray, Amen.
Respectfully written and submitted by
Dotty Willmon, Resurrection Christian—looking for the blessed hope of
Christ’s return!
