Habakkuk 2:2-5 - but the righteous will live by his faith
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. (Habakkuk 2:3)
Evil and injustice seems to have the upper hand in the world where we belong. Yet God saw it, and He promise that one day He will deliever justice to judge and punishing the sinful practise people have committed according to Him plan and perfect timing, even though we don't understand why the injustice still prevails in current time. Yet we have to be patient and to hold on our hope.
See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright - but the righteousness will live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4)
The arrogant people are not upright and trust in themselves only. For us as a christian, we will live by His faith, to place our trust in Him, in order to live through the difficult times at this moment even though we don't see a sign of 'hope'. There is something better in the future, that God is directing all things according to His purpose, and one day Jesus will come again to judge the world.
It is a consolation and encouragement for all of us who are perplexed about life. God is just. The reality of life, especially in our working place, make us easier to conform to the standard of this world. It seems that it is those who don't follow the rule triumph, and being a christian seems to make us less competitive and fall prey to the others. Yet in the end, God will see what we did and He will judge.
O Lord, grant me faith so that I can follow your principle to trust in your way of doing things, and to uphold your justice and standard, and to keep following you even though times are difficult.
