History will repeat itself until the return of the King

The people of God are still in rebellion towards Him. God is still pursuing his people. God is still breaking hearts of stone. God is still calling worshippers to Himself.

In the days of Habakuk it seemed like evil was winning. It seemed like injustice was prevailing and the people of God were idiots who followed a God who said he was for his people. I feel like I am in the same shoes. I took the biggest act of faith this past week ever in my life. As of right now it SEEMS that doing things God's way is futile. His ways make absolutely no sense in the eyes of man.

However if God is the the same yesterday today and forever - then I must wage war against my soul which wants to tell God I am done doing things you way. I must wait on his promises. I must remember when he told Habakuk - Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.

I must place my hope in God and believe with all my heart that his ways are not my ways and that my thoughts are not his thoughts.

God says that he revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. (Habakuk 2:3)

For the weary hearted - WAGE WAR AGAINST YOUR DESIRES TO GIVE UP. Think back to our forefathers. Think back to the days where the people of God were left in the hands of the corrupted religious leaders. Think back to the time when God's temple had been destroyed and the people felt lost. The LORD came back thru the incarnated Christ and had made a way to Himself forever.

Feel like God has given up on you? Think back to to the days of the Judges (Ruth). Naomi and her Husband had left the very promise land that God had given over to them. They THREW out the very blessing God had PROMISED to them and their forefathers back into His face. Naomi lost her sons and her husband because of famine in the land they went to. Naomi HAD absolutely nothing now. Without a husband back in those days you have no rights, no property, no income - NOTHING! Even in Naomi's rebellion God had provided for her in ways I would have never imagined.

God is about to extend his glory. "Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." Habakkuk 1:5

STOP AND REMEMBER

Ever just feel like your lost? There are definitely a few things that are on my mind at the moment.
STOP

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you” (Jn. 16:7).

"Apparently, Jesus considered it more important for His disciples that the Holy Spirit be present with them, than that He, in His bodily presence, abide with them. Jesus was geographically limited by His incarnation. But the Comforter would dwell in each believer and thus have a worldwide ministry through them."

It gives me such great peace to know that although Jesus has ascended back to his throne, he has not left. He has given us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be our comforter, advocate, helper, andour teacher. I have not been left alone to fend for myself but I have been given the ULTIMATE helper to lead me in the way of holiness.
