“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.”
Never mistake God’s patience for
weakness.
We tend to believe that God is
incapable or uninterested if He doesn’t act according to our timeline. But God says if we wait He will do more than
we can imagine.
God is more powerful than we are able to comprehend
and His answer to the prophet Habakkuk’s complaint about evil in the world is simply
“hide and watch”.
At times we focus so much on the
love and compassion of God, that we forget His breathtaking power, and tremendous
righteousness… We begin to view God as a sweet, feeble old grandfather, and
nothing could be further from the truth.
Confidence begins when stand in
awe of the majesty and authority of The Great “I Am”, and ask the question, who
am I that you even acknowledge me? (Psalms 8:4). When you get a glimpse of God’s magnificence,
you stop worrying about Him being ignored, and start worrying about those who
ignore Him.
If you find yourself irritated by
the grace He shows to those who do evil, you have missed the point. Instead, like
Christ on the cross, you should be asking God to forgive them because they have
no idea who they are dealing with… they ignore Him at their peril… not His.
God has this…
He is not pacing the floor and His
plan is in motion. Stand back and let God be God. You be His child and tell others
the good news of the cross while there is still time.
“A man can no
more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out
the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.” - C.S. Lewis
