We Want A Tame Lion of Judah - That Isn't Who Jesus Is
by JRP Ministry Staff on 04/28/20
Funny how we pray for revival; we want the Lord to move in our day (i.e. in the midst of our years). But we deny that the Lord moves in wrath (vs. 2) and that in verse 5 the prophet warns, "Before Him goes a pestilence and a plague comes after Him."
I would submit that we have a great deal to learn about the Lord. He is the Lord who moves in love, mercy AND great wrath. We are experiencing His judgments.
Habakkuk 3:1–6 (NASB95)
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2 LORD, I have heard the report about You and I fear. O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
3 God comes from Teman, And the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His splendor covers the heavens, And the earth is full of His praise.
4 His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His power.
5 Before Him goes pestilence, And plague comes after Him.
6 He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and startled the nations. Yes, the perpetual mountains were shattered, The ancient hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.
