But God You are Good!

Are you not from eternity, Yahweh my God? my Holy alone, You will not die.

Lord, you appointed them to execute judgement; my Rock, You destined them to punish us.

Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You to,erase those who are treacherous? Why are you silent while one who is wicked swallows up one who is more righteous than himself? Habakkuk 1:12,13

In verses 5-11 the Lord is telling Habakkuk that He is sending the Chaldeans to deal with His people who are acting wickedly. Habakkuk knows the reputation of the Chaldeans, how evil and cruel they are. I wonder if there is a little fear thing going on here? I know I would not be at peace if the Lord told me He was sending the worst invaders He could find, to teach His church in Australia a lesson.

Habakkuk is confused as to why God would use a more wicked bunch of people to teach Judah a lesson. Yet this is what God intends and does. Possible the reason is to capture their attention. They have continued to ignore Him. Not a good move!

Being a Christian is not enough if we try to box God and refuse to listen to Him. He will get our attention. Amen!
