Habakkuk 1 & 2

i was reading the book of Habakkuk before i go to bed and i discovered that the author was just complaining to God because He was silent even though He certainly knew what was going on at the point in time. the first time the author complained saying:

'How long oh Lord must i call for help, but you do not listen?'
'i cried out to You violence but You do not save?'

and the Lord answered
'look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed.for I am going to do something in your days that you wouldn't believe, even if you were told. I am raising up the Babylonians (Chaldeans), that ruthless and impetuous people...'

I was amazed by God's answer because it shows that God is a merciful God that does not look at what those people have done in the past. He's calling all the sinners to Himself. He wants to save them. hang on there...this promise isn't only for those people in the past but also for people of this generation. keep on praying for God promises to do something in out midst, yea in this world.

the second time the author complained to God saying
'your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong.WHY then do you tolerate the treacherous?why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?'

God's answer
'write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. for the revelation awaits an appointed time;it speaks of the end and will not prove false. THOUGH IT LINGER, wait for it;it will certainly come and will not delay.'

this verse is actually an answer to prayer. a prayer that pushed God to act quickly because it has been too long to remain in that situation. i wondered why it took so long for God to turn around the situation. isn't He wanted their salvation as well. But why has it not taken placed even after i have prayed for it. doesn't He have a power to draw men to Himself? the above verse is the answer. God gently insisted me to write their names on tablets of my heart and continue to pray for them. for sure, the revelation will come and will not delay.

this verse also reveals to me that God is still alive and hears my desperate prayers and my hope does not make in vain. while waiting for the promise to be fulfilled, i need God to strengthen my faith in Him so that i wont stop hoping and praying about it.

brothers and sisters, do you mind to accompany me in prayer because at this time i feel im having this burden all to myself and it seems that i have no company at all. i feel that i have been praying alone. it does not matter whether or not you know what i was talking about. just pray with me. thank you very much for all of you.
