Habakkuk 2:1-4
1 I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected. 2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 “Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith.

Do we stay on guard, with faith in our watching how and where God leads us? This must be with an attitude of teachability and response of faithful obedience with joy in following Christ. His word has been written down for us, and history plays out by His written account of it from beginning to end. The sovereign Lord of all will surely do exactly as He planned. So by faith we follow and watch as we serve, seeing the events unfold as we point to all God has done in His Son with word and deed. Let us labor and agonizingly strive for the good news of reconciliation in Christ!
