Habakkuk 1:2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
How many times have we heard of brutal injustice being served to humanity, and the culprit not brought to justice?
The closest one I can think of right now, are the Owo and Toll gate massacres. Why does it seem that when all this were happening, God was watching?
After all, Nothing catches him by surprise! A lot of backsliders have their reasons for backsliding rooted in the fact that they cannot understand a God who is slow to mete out judgement on the wicked, and would "let" or watch the innocent suffer.
To my understanding, Sin is sin before God, I know it's a bit difficult to comprehend, because I struggle with comprehending it myself, but there is no big or little sin, because it is still the same blood of Jesus that washes them clean.
However, if we beseech God to quick judgement, would you be left unscathed? Wouldn't it affect you as a person? Or your close and loved ones?
We ought to remember especially in the difficult times, that God is not man, he is merciful and he is not unjust.
Self -pity and Self- righteousness anger will do no one good.
In our passage today, the full passage recorded prophet Habakkuk's grief over God's silence on Judgement. This is not something we are experiencing in this time alone, It has happened before.
Remember, his ways are not our ways. Seek his face when you don't understand, and he will answer you.
God bless,
MaryA.
