How Long, O Lord?
Maybe its just the weather (which is rainy with a little ice), but today I feel like the man who prayed, “Lord, give me patience….and give it to me now!” As always, the Word is a great place to go when I’m feeling discouraged. From Habakkuk 1:2-5…
2 How long, O 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 wrong?
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.
The Lord ’s Answer
5 “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.”
Thank you, Lord, that you are faithful and just and please help me have patience to see your will done. Amen
