Habakkuk's Prayer (3)
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth .
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran.
Selah
......His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.
His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.
Plague went before him; pestilence followed his steps. He stood, and shook the earth; he looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal. ......

.........Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.
No matter what trial, valley, plataeu or rainbow you may be facing, enjoying or hiding. The God of all creation knew and holds you in the palm of His hand. Not only holds you. YOUR name is written on His Hand, Engraved on His heart. He whirls in delight of you. At the mere thought of you. He wants His Glory to be shown thru you. He wants you to NOT be satisfied with ordinary. Because He made you extraordinary. He loves you extravigantly. And His grace knows no end. Are you satisfied with not knowing? Are you at peace with not sharing? Don't quench the spirit He placed in you. Stop thinking He is not SPEAKING to you. You know what I mean. You have sensed it for some time. Now act. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
