I'm thinking today of Habakkuk 310.
There's a name you don't hear all that often, but it's a key crucial prophet in the Old
Testament.
Habakkuk 310.
It says, the mountains saw you and quaked.
The downpour of waters swept by.
The deep uttered forth its voice.
It lifted high its hands.
Habakkuk 310.
This sounds like terms of worship.
The mountains saw him and quaked.
They're big.
They're strong.
And the one thing they don't do is shake in fear or awe.
But in God's case, they do.
The ocean uttered forth its voice.
And it lifted its hands high.
Not often pictured as crying out or singing.
But here are these things and lifted hands to God.
God truly is awesome.
He deserves from us things that without him, we would not be capable of.
You can praise God today despite your situation because God makes it possible.
You can find an inner joy despite your suffering because God makes it possible.
God wants nothing less than what's best for us.
When we're going the wrong way, He opposes us.
When we're going the right way, He supports us, encourages us.
God chastises those whom He loves and sends the Holy Spirit to encourage us every single
day.
Lift up holy hands.
Raise your voices.
Meet with the church on Sunday.
Praise God.
Your local church wants to serve the Lord and you need to be there to serve the Lord in
it.
We can do things for God that we would not otherwise be capable of.
