In this political season, it doesn’t take much to communicate the wrong message. Sometimes an individual goes rogue to advance their own agenda. Others may attempt to make a name for themselves by expressing an over the top statement. However, the most common mistake occurs from a slip of the tongue. If the media is present, this faux pas usually results in a firestorm and has ended the careers of promising candidates.
I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the LORD says and how he will answer my complaint, Habakkuk 2:1.
On the flip side, many struggle to comprehend what God is trying to communicate daily. Thus, countless people of faith wander off into the wilderness wondering if the Lord will ever make Himself clear. Many prayers will be offered, yet silence can be one of the most frustrating experiences in life. Distraught children, moms and others seeking answers cry out to the heavens waiting for some kind of tangible sign.
Then the LORD said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others,” Habakkuk 2:2.
Unfortunately, the Bible is clear about this issue as believers are commanded to live by faith, not by sight. Though some don’t want to hear this, time will tell why this or that happened to you. Nonetheless, its easy to manipulate messages, often taking the Bible out of context to get the outcome you desire. Despite these efforts, the prophet Habakkuk suggests that there will be times in life when you will have to wait for insight. In view of this, practice patience until the Lord provides a runner to carry you the correct message.
