A great day to be alive and living in Jesus Christ! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!
Well, Habakkuk expressed his concern to God about the events that were happening. Now God is replying to Habakkuk and this is also a lesson for us.
Habakkuk 1: 5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
God is speaking to Habakkuk and HE will be reminding him that HE (God) sees the big picture whereas man only sees a small segment of God's program.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
The Jews were concerned only about Judah, but God is concerned with the world. God is at world on a universal scale in order to bring HIS universal power and influence to bear on the evils that Habakkuk and the righteous of Judah are experiencing.
God tells Habakkuk that the Chaldeans are really mean, ugly, and violent people. They are a terrible people concerned only about their own position and status.
They come for nothing more than violence and they gather the peoples into captivity as many as the sand. They will scoff at kings and princes and and violently kill many people.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
God will call the Chaldeans to account. All will fall down upon them. There will be witnesses to accuse an convict the Chaldean of his wrong doing and rightful judgment.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
I do hope this makes sense to you. I had to read it several times to grasp it totally. Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace,
Johnny
