Today and tomorrow I am looking at Habakkuk's visit with God. Habakkuk is not happy with the way things are going and says so to the LORD. Today, Habakkuk's complain, tomorrow will be God's answer.
Habakkuk’s Complaint
1 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received.
2 How long, Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
but you do not listen?

If you relate this to our present day situation, you will see he is calling out basically the same things we are calling out today. Violence, injustice, wrongdoing, destruction, strife, conflict. Justice does not seem to happen, the secular world is now and has been making laws contrary to God's Word.
And what do we do? We tend to sit together and howl about it, yet take no action. It is time, fellow Christian we stand up for Christian values, not cower to the political left, right, middle, but stand firmly on God's Word.
Let us be bold and speak out. Thanks for reading. Tomorrow, God's answer. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
