S - Habakkuk 3: 2 O Lord, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O Lord, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. 4 His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power. 5 Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels. 6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways.
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in ht God of my salvation. 19 God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . that power is mine. I will destroy what I want to destroy. You I want to lift up and glorify. You I want to bless. If you will but follow my commands, I will answer your prayers and I will make you my servant to the people around you. You are my child and I love you very much. In fact, so much that I would die for you. Now, what are you willing to do for me?
A - In the midst of everything going on in today's world. With all of the turmoil relating to politics, education, wars, drought, famine, etc. I will praise the Lord where I am. I can do nothing about much of that, except pray. God says that if we pray, he will answer the prayers of the righteous. I want to be righteous so I can be confident when I pray, that he will hear me and will answer me. I must obey the commands that he has given me in his word. I must continue to seek him out daily. I must continue to spend time with him, in prayer and in the Bible, his letter to me.
P - Heavenly Father, your name is Holy. You are awesome. You have created the earth and all that is in it. Yet you chose to love me. Help me to continue to recognize that fact and continue to come to you in prayer and to continue to read your word. I love you and I want to glorify your name in all that I do. Help me to be the man, the father, the husband, the teacher, the person, that you want me to be. Help me to live for you in all that I do. I praise your name for you are mighty. Thank you for all of the blessings that you have given me. Thank you for loving me, even when I didn't (don't) deserve it.
