May We See The Deeds Of The Lord In Our Lifetime

“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known.” - from Habakkuk 3:2

Habakkuk wasn’t praying for the end of the world. Rather Habakkuk prayed for its rebirth and renewal. Habakkuk did not pray for God’s wrath to be spilled out onto the world but rather for God’s mercy.

Too many of us in our disappointment and in our discouragement, in our pain and in our anger, in our righteous indignation- too many of us have forgotten what we are praying. We have lost the plot. We have forgotten our calling.

We have been called to stand our watchposts centered in the truth of God’s love, with hearts dedicated to righteousness, minds dedicated to freeing our neighbors, and a faith that shields from the arrows of discouragement.

We have been called to watch, wait, work, and pray that we may see the deeds of The Lord in our lifetime.

Write Down Your Vision

“Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets… For there is still a vision for the appointed time.” -from Habakkuk 2:2-3

When things are hard, when things have been hard, when there’s no sign of things getting easier, the most important thing we can hold onto is a vision for ourselves and our futures.

A vision is more than a fleeting passing thought. A vision is more than a day dream. A vision is more than a wish. A vision is a picture of the future so tangible, and so concrete that it can be described and recorded in great detail.

It is essential to write it down, to hold onto it, to take it out and revisit it again and again. Embracing the vision is the first step in the long journey towards bringing it into being.

We start with the answer firmly entrenched in our minds and work our way back through the steps to reach it. In this way our vision goes from inspiration, to roadmap, to itinerary, to immediate next steps.

We need to be able to hold ourselves accountable. Be sure to write down your vision.

True Worship Happens Outside Of Church

The writer of Isaiah 1 gave the readers the ancient world equivalent of ‘get out of here with that noise’.

“When you come to appear before me, who asked this from your hand? Trample my courts no more!

Bringing offerings is futile; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and calling of convocation-- I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity.

Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.” - Isaiah 1:12-14

The writer goes on to describe what God wants:

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove your evil deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

learn to do good; seek justice; rescue the oppressed; defend the orphan; plead for the widow.- - Isaiah 1:16-17

True worship happens outside of church.
