Last week at Bible Study, we learnt 5 lessons from the book of Habakkuk.
1) Habakkuk did not pretend problems do not exist when during his time GOD raised up the Babylonians to attack Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel because they have sinned against GOD. Habakkuk faced the problems squarely.
2) Habakkuk went straight to GOD first with his problem. He did not turn to other ways or anyone else but he went directly to GOD.
3) He waited on GOD to hear what He has to say to him after bringing the problem to Him. Habakkuk did not "dump" the problem to GOD and leave.
4) He was willing to be reproved by GOD, desiring to walk uprightly with GOD.
5) He was determined to walk above his circumstance, embracing and clinging on to GOD by faith.
Frankly, I felt lousy during the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010. I did not look forward to the new year, not knowing what lies ahead. But I cling on to GOD despite what I went through, choosing to believe that there must be something GOD wants me to learn and believing with all my heart that He is Sovereign and is still on the throne.
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought.
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;He speaks to me everywhere.
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
This is my Father’s world, should my heart be ever sad?
The lord is King—let the heavens ring. God reigns—let the earth be glad.
This is my Father’s world. Now closer to Heaven bound.
For dear to God is the earth Christ trod.
No place but is holy ground.
