Habakkuk #10—Hidden Strength
The Eternal Lord is my strength: he gave me feet like a deer; he will lead me on my high places. Habakkuk 3:19 “Perception is reality,” some say. But this isn’t true, ever. For example, circumstantial evidence is unconvincing in a court of law because it does not adequately represent reality. When we trust only … Continue reading
Habakkuk #9—Saving Judgment
You marched through the earth in fury; you tread on the nations in anger. You went forth to save your people. Habakkuk 3:12–13 When we fear The Eternal, we need never fear for eternity.
