Strength, Trust...Rejoicing

I Will Rejoice in the LORD

Habakkuk had complained to God twice. His first, he questioned God's wisdom and expressed bewilderment at his, seemingly, inactivity in the face of blatant violation of his law. The second complaint to God, How could he use a wicked nation to judge a nation more righteous than they? God's answer. "The righteous shall live by faith." (Habakkuk 2: 4).
 
Like Habakkuk, It may seem as though God is idol, not moving as fast as we would like. Or that he is distant. Especially when we see the world turned upside down. However, God is, in his timing and in his good pleasure, making all things work out to his glory for each and every single person on the face of the earth who love God. .(Romans 8:28).

Therefore, our strength, and trust should be in God our Savior not on what we see happening in the world around us. And as such, our hearts rejoice in Him. Take heart for he has overcome the world. (John 16:33).

Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Please forgive me when I sin and fall short of Your glory. May the prayer of your servant be a pleasing sound to You this day as I lift my voice to You in praise. May my eyes be ever on You and a heart that seeks after You. You are my strength in whom I trust. I rejoice in God my Savior. Thank You for Jesus Christ who has taken away the sins of the world. It is in Jesus name I pray, amen.
