It is finished (HABAKKUK)

It is finished. All the work Is done. Our view is small, no matter how big we think we are, we are small to God. His ways are not like ours. Even if our daylight never dawns, it already did. We can see the evil around us and it can heavily affect us, even make us angry or become unloving toward people.

Like many places that have become an unreached , secular mystic playground, it seems terrible, all these churches are being over taken by wicked ideology and it seems that nobody is left. Like Elijah who stood entirely alone with God against King Ahab, Queen Jezebel, and the prophets of Baal during a time of rampant idolatry in Israel. (1 kings 19:10). We don’t understand what God is doing, we may do as much work as possible but God will bring good even if we don’t see what we define as success. Success is not in results. Success is in being faithful. Out of love we do work because God is a friend and personal Lord. He is a king but a kind king. If you are staying faithful you are staying successful. God will bring good no matter what, and more good than we can comprehend, when we are to hear in heaven what God did with these desolate places, we will scoff in disbelief, but it will be true. 

Those who hurt u will get what is coming, but everyone who reads this also hurt someone, God sees evil and acts justly, we only know what is just because of God and His true character. They can worship a different god but that god doesn’t have the true just character of God. Therefore they are unjust, and God punishes the unjust. for vengeance belongs to the lord in His time. 

It is Good to be raw and real with God. To know that we can be personal with him for he is a personal God. We need to be real and sometimes we are really confused or really angry. Bring what is real to God not what u think the world expects you to bring. 

There are 2 ways of living righteouss and unrighteous. The only difference is faith. The unjust are those with what I refer to as the “Machiavelli mindset” the eat or be eaten, driven by ego, greed, restlessness, and power, pride is the god of fools. when empires, systems, or individuals thrive through arrogance, greed, and corruption. The path leads to destruction, but those who stay faithful when those in the environment they live have fallen into this mindset, they will succeed. For faith is success, and it is extra success when the environment is unfaithful. the arrogant person tries to dull their unrest with indulgence, but it betrays them. They never are at rest. A stranger to God is a stranger to peace. No matter how much a stranger to peace takes he will never be satisfied and never know why, his hunger will only grow, his attempts will only grow more drastic and eventually either lead him to death or back to God. But all the evil they do will not only fail but fall back on their head. God says the tables will turn,those who were oppressed will rise up and mock the oppressor. The plunderer will become plundered because of bloodshed and violence. empires, nations, or houses on dishonest gain, thinking it will bring security. But it brings shame, and even the inanimate structures will testify against the wicked. God’s glory will fill the earth, not human pride. Those who worship idols are disconnected from truth. The untruthful will have there lies exposed by God. Any empire, business, or person that builds power or life through oppression, pride, or lies is doomed. We only know what these things actually are because we know God’s character. only the Lord reigns, and one day, the whole earth will know His glory. 

God’s judgment is holy and terrifying, and everyone, righteous or not, needs mercy. we all share bone headedness. It is interesting thinking of Habakkuk. Habakkuk is angry about the evil and injustice in Judah. He asks, “How long, Lord, must I call for help? Meaning he has tried for a long time to get this message across, God answers: “I’m sending Babylon to judge Judah. Habakkuk is shocked—“Wait… Babylon is worse than we are!” God responds again: “Don’t worry, Babylon will be judged too.”: Habakkuk realizes God is not just punishing others—He is purifying everyone. God’s majesty and power bring Habakkuk to his knees. He goes from questioning God to worshiping Him. The righteous live by faith—not just faith in judgment, but in God’s character, which includes mercy. It’s easy to cry out for justice when others are doing wrong. But when we see the full weight of God’s holiness, we realize none of us can stand without mercy. Justice without mercy is destruction. Mercy without justice is corruption. God holds both in perfect balance. God’s true anger is against evil, death, oppression, and injustice, but His power is so intense that nature itself gets shaken. Think of how the Red Sea split during the Exodus. God wasn’t mad at the sea, it just moved when He came through to save His people and judge Egypt. God can tear open the land, reroute rivers, and reorder creation to fulfill His purposes. You failing an assignment or having a moment of  failure, your not ruining God’s plan. God is a warrior, coming to fight injustice and save His people. The one who fights for us, is sovereign Lord of creation,  the rivers and seas aren’t His enemies—but they’re witnesses to His wrath. He is a faithful deliverer who keeps his promises, Sometimes God’s actions in our lives or in the world seem chaotic, like rivers bursting or the earth splitting. He’s not angry at creation—He’s at war against evil. And in that war, He rides in victory for the sake of His people out of the love that is Him. His promises are enough. We wait not with panic, but with deep trust. In everything. There is a time span. In Christ there is eternity. Everything will be taken away, so when things disappear don’t stress, we still have salvation through faith, we still have God. God gives him strength to stand in unstable times.the  body of Christ may sing loud during these times as a body of believers proclaiming the Good news that the creator and judge of all loves us and hates the evil. We can have uncertainty and feel weary of what’s coming, but we will have faith in God’s justice and joy in knowing his character. 

“Even if my daylight never dawns

Even if my breakthrough never comes

Even if I’ll fight to bring You praise

Even if my dreams fall to the ground

Even if I’m lost, I know I’m found

Even if  my heart will somehow say

Hallelujah anyway”-rend collective
