Habakkuk 2:1-8

IT WILL CERTAINLY COME

Keywords 2:3

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.

1. God’s revelation will certainly come (1-5)

Habakkuk was watching for God, and the Lord would not disappoint. He promised to reveal his glory in the matter of his judgment on sin. This world is captive to the power of sin and death. But God is eternal. His justice will come. He reveals himself to the righteous—those who trust in his faithfulness in a world where sin seems rampant.

 

2. You have destroyed (6-8)

The Lord pronounced judgment on the wicked. The first woe he pronounced was against those who sought to store up wealth in this world at the cost of the lives of God’s people, destroying lands and cities and everyone in them. Godless people are unrestrained in their love of self. They destroy others, but they invite God’s destruction upon themselves.

Prayer Lord, this world is captive to sin. Help me to wait with hope for your glory to be revealed.

One Word Though it linger, wait for it
