Where Is The Blessing Hear 5/31/2023
Daily Devotions: by Christina FarrisHabakkuk 2:1-20 KJV
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
To wait to be reproved, to wait to hear from God himself. As Habakkuk waited for these things, he waited for the next vision from God and God spoke again. He told him to write the vision on the tables. None of us want our tables writen on but thes tables were to be writen so anyone reading the table would take it to other people. You do not have to preach in the city streets if that not your call, you maybe called to write it where others can read it. Where others will know what to do with it. We get in a place of wanting to hear from God but are we willing to obey. Some would never believe a little site like this could travel the globe. Nor the fact people are allowed to copy and make sure name who wrote is there, or the sight name is there. People carry Bible tracks and lay them down in all sorts of places, never knowing what begins of the Gospel message they leave behind. Seventeens year ago I set turtle on a page because I like the turtle I had found and my first page was hard to do. I wanted to give up. I kept the page anyway it was free at that time. I said Lord whatever you want me to do with this site I will do it. My plans for the site soon fell, but God's plan never did. One day this site will be no more, but God's word will still continue on. Why because when the life of this site is over the word of God will continue to remain in the hearts and minds of the people who took time to read at the minimum the scriptures posted. The Bible is the foundation book of our faith.
The picture of the turtle as many meanings over the years. It just one of God many creatures. It not to be worshipped and neither am I. However many have taken graven images and erected them of idols of people, demons and even animals. Anything wrong with images that remind us of good things, no, but when we worship them over our Heavenly Father, think they have some power that in reality they do not then we are falling short as people of God. It like the lucky rabbit foot or the fortune cookie, symbol of hoping, but it has no power to help you win, or to have a good day. The idolatry even in some christian church's and church's fail to say why you do not pray to them, is failing God's word even as we speak. It nice to have memories of things in our life or life past, but when we begin to worship thing our own hands mold we must ask are we in our right mind.
The pirates of our land and killers that do so with no regards to human law and get by with it, building the land with evil and not the grace of God. This type of building up will never stand. God will tear it down in due time. Men become drunk with their own evilness. Drunkard and druglords will never understanding their destruction will come, unless they be convert and saved.
Prophet Habakkuk says in the end let the people be silent before the Lord for he is in his temple. Show revence to God. Why write it on the table for it declare destruction was coming, It declare the destruction of the enemy was coming. That God's people were hearing from God, that they were to be faithful to him. That these people that were coming were men of murder, piracy and so forth.
God's message to all of us never changed in difficult times, to continue in faith, to trust in God to trust in His word/Jesus(God's word in the flesh of man). The prophesy was record in wooden and stone tables. Probably only Israelites sat at these tables and only Israelites could read the writing of the Hebrew language.
It important to know how people come and going could spread a prophesy so fast, but people take time to memorize the prophesy to share with others by mouth and perhaps on pieces of paper as well as or a rock. How important is scripture today to be shared and past on. If we pass only New Testament on, what should we be sharing about end times. Should we be scaring people to death. No, life is going to be going onward even in time of devastation, wars, and so forth. Preparation for hardship learned for memory sake on how to survive by holding by faith in God and Christ Jesus, even in the worse case scenerio of our lives. To be people that keep our faith and revence God even in our silent for the earth is his throne room. No matter where you are standing on holy ground, despite what man has turned it into we are to reverence God here. God after all sees what man has made of his throne room into. After the earth is said to be God's footstool. The blessing of hope in difficult times, is what we need to teach, the salvation message, and the value of faith in God. That God never fails his people, but sometimes God's people do not understand what God is doing or saying.
I am carrier of God's word, I place it on the wall for all to read. I not God, and I am only human with God reproving me even when I write at times. I am not without fallacy. Jesus was the only perfect man and the only one without sin against God. Yet he fulfilled God's will by going to the cross and rising again to symbolize the new life we to will have with God when we first have faith, and bury our sins with his death and rise again into new life with him. That our salvation rest in faith in God and Christ Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father, move in your people including me to continue in sharing the message of faith in Jesus and explaing also about prophesy of our world today, is to be a sign of what is yet to come and the way to be responsible in preparation for it. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
Continual Scripture Study: Revelation 19:9-10 KJV
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
