The Just Shall Live By Faith

the Bible is about God but it's more than just His story It's the basic instructions on how to live to receive His glory It's the manual on life and how to live it right it's full of positive insights from the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus was God's manifestation, a part of His master plan Jesus was the ideal role model who was sent in to stand to be that perfect being that God initially had in mind to show humanity how to behave and act at all times His purpose was to tell man in God to trust and wait for only the just shall live by faith In 586 BC the city of Jerusalem had fallen down under Nebuchadnezzar rule the people themselves were found they were distressed, oppressed and suffering degradation just waiting for the Lord God to deliver salvation praying that the Lord would hopefully make a way praying for a savior to come along some day but Habakkuk was not satisfied with the present situation he had the nerve to tell God He needed a new application he said "I will read the sign of the times and be a witness to history I will stand and wait for You to end this travesty" the hypocrisy, the arrogance, the illusion and confusion the hurt, the humility, the shame and all the pain God will use your worst foe to take down your enemy for He is the God of all time, mankind and history God addressed Habakkuk and said "write down the visions to you that I give and do not transform anything else but My words by which to live" I have now given you the power to discern and yes I am aware of all your major concerns so don't worry about what's going on, just trust in Me and wait for only the righteous and the just shall live by faith faith is the capability in God's promises to totally trust faith is the ability to stay standing after the settling of the dust faith is the capacity to remain on God's spiritual course faith is the suitability to deal with whatever life at you will toss faith is the aptitude to believe that everything will turn out right faith is the attitude you need to walk with and not just rely on sight to truly believe that despite whatever is going down that the Spirit and strength of God in you will be found that no matter the state of confusion occurring around you that the Lord God will always make a way to pull you through so stand on God's word, just trust, believe and wait for only the truly just shall live by faith
