Bible Reading: Habakkuk 2: 1 - 20
Topic: The Just
Central to our text is
Habakkuk's declaration, "the just shall live by faith."
The New Testament affirms
this fact in Rom. 1: 17, Gal. 3: 1 and Heb. 10: 38.
"The Just" means
a person who has removed himself from being part of the sin of oppression,
bribery, lawlessness, perversion of justice, idolatry and other vices that have
become the Society's way of living and doing business.
He stands upon his watch
like Habakkuk in righteousness, holding onto prayer, waiting patiently for the
fulfillment of God's promise through a vision (God's Word) of a better
tomorrow, and living according to God's Word.
The faith of the just
shall sustain him during captivity and difficult times.
Those who do not have such
faith will lose their patience in waiting for God's vision and promises to be
fulfilled.
Are you just?
Do you still have faith?
Now that our Nation's
economy is experiencing "captivity" and difficult moments, I hope you
have not been drawn to being unjust; that you have not reneged on your faith
and hope of a fre and fair society and that you are nit surrendering to other
religions.
Don't be of them that draw
back unto perdition but be of them that believe to the saving of the soul (Heb.
10: 39)
Prayer:
Father in Heave, I bow my
head before you and plead that you give me the faith even that of the mustard
seed that I may continually and continuously be just in exercising it, Amen
Memory verse: Habakkuk 2: 3
"For the vision is
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."
