How Powerful is Your God?

Habakkuk 3-Part 3

LET IT GLOW

What a change in Habakkuk's life. He waited patiently on the watchtower for God to answer his questions. Waiting developed faith, real living faith, and opened his eyes to something he was no conscious of before. That is how he could sing this song (chapter 3) unto his God. The prophet thought God was not going to do anything about the sins of the Chaldeans or Babylonians. They were going to be used as His rod of anger. 

Yep, God had a plan and was working it. Habakkuk was afraid God was going to do too much! He asked for God to remember His mercy. Instead of showers of blessing, we need showers of mercy. 

Is Jesus working in your life? Is He your Savior?

LET IT GROW

So far, the prophet's prayer, song, admitted God can revive us, accomplishing His purposes. He is Majesty on High. His ways are everlasting. 

Now Habakkuk acknowledges God showed His power as He dried up the Red Sea for His children to cross over toward the Promised Land. How powerful our God is! His power is open and evident to all. Moses and Daniel saw it. 

Do we stop and think about the great power God has? As we are in great need of rain in the south, I pray God will send us rain, then reign on earth.

Be confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Phil. 1:6)

 LET IT GO

Strength arises when we wait upon the Lord. We will wait upon the Lord our God. You reign forever. Our Hope, our Strong Deliverer.

You are the everlasting God. You do not faint. You won't grow weary. You are the defender of the weak. You comfort those in need.

You are the Everlasting God.
