Scripture: Habakkuk 2: 1-3

I will stand upon my watch, and set upon the towers, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 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.

Scripture Commentary: Be in a position to receive God’s message

Are you on the watchtower? Do you watch to see what He will say to you?  Can you hear God talking to you?

Stone watchtowers were built on city walls, ramparts, and vineyards. Watchtowers monitored who was approaching; enemies or messengers. Habakkuk awaited God’s message. Are you in a position to receive God’s message?

We see the evil in the world. We might doubt and wonder what God is doing. How long will evil prevail? God answered Habakkuk, and the same answer applies today: judgement will come.

God is giving us time to cleanse ourselves and bring others to him. If God passed judgement on you today, how would you fare?  Take the time God has given you to repent and go to Him.

As Christians, we live for God. We trust him in directing all things according to his purpose.
