HOW LONG LORD ?
In HABAKKUK 1: 13 – 17
*Prophet Habakkuk is asking; God *”God your eyes are too pure to look on evil .Why do you tolerate treachery and remain silent when righteous are swallowed up and the evil one pulls all in his dragnet like fishes and rejoices and he is glad destroying nations without mercy.
Are we also waiting on God and asking how long God before justice prevails in our world?
Before there are no broken hearted, rejected and deprived people?
Before is there a cure for cancer?
Before little children don’t have to go to bed hungry?
Prophet Habakkuk was well acquinted with human misery,he cried out,”How long Lord, must l call for help,but you do not listen.l cry out to you” violence”! but you don’t save.Why do you make me look at injustice?Why do you tolerate wrong doing? Destruction is all around.Habakkuk prayed and struggled for a long time to know how a Just and powerful God allows injustice. Why was God doing nothing? We earth dwellers must know that God hears us and carries our burdens daily.We should cast our burdens upon the Lord. He cares and moves in his time.Don’t despair. God will have the last Word.He has a great plan to save humanity through Lord Jesus ,which Habakkuk might not be aware of at that time.He has redeemed,and bought us back to Himself with His precious BLOOD.We give HIM Glory and Honour.
TESTIMONY
When l got married thought l will have children immediately and it happened the very next year…But all our hopes were dashed when l had three miscarriages one after the other. The pain of losing our precious children was so great that we cried out to God “How long God”. Why we had to go through all this. We waited on God and prayed till we got a bouncy baby boy.lm so grateful to God for Our son who. made us parent.
Prayer
“Lord we thank you for hearing our cries, and prayers and for giving us a wonderful Son according to your plan and purpose. Amen
