January 6
Habakkuk 3:2 says something that should stir our faith and quicken our sense of expectancy as we contemplate the unchanging nature of the Triune God to whom we have committed our lives for time and eternity. The Word of God is unchanging and sure and this verse reminds us of that comforting truth.
It says, “Lord, I have heard the report about You. I stand in awe of Your deeds. Revive Your work in these years.” The prophet is expressing a cry that has been upon the lips of virtually every believer who has contemplated the wonder and majesty of our God and of His matchless works.
Who among us hasn’t stood in awe of the story of creation, of the Majesty on High who fashioned all that exists from nothing? Who hasn’t marveled at the tale of the deliverance of His ancient people from all their foes? Who hasn’t been enthralled at the stories of the might of the Eternal God as it was revealed in the tender hand of Jesus?
We receive the word of His exploits and we cry to Him for revival in our day! We yearn for Him to touch us where we are with the majesty of His presence and His power. We yearn to see the reflection of His glory as His He overshadows our circumstances and brings us to the point of deliverance. We know we don’t merit His wonder upon our lives, but we yearn to see Him glorify Himself in us.
