Injustice & Idolatry – The Final decade of Israel’s Southern Kingdom.

If you’re not in it Lord, I don’t want it.

A warning from God, through the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk. Not so common in the US, but we have our own objects or things we do, that we can call idols. Let’s hear from you, on what they are.

““What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it, Or an image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols. Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’ To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all inside it. But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before Him.””
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Even when we don’t see him, he’s working, even when we don’t feel him, he’s working, He never stops, He never stops working. He is……Way maker, Promise keeper, light in the Darkness, My God, that is Who You Are!

This country needs direction. Where is our hope? Our hope comes from the Lord.

We will find no condemnation, under the Old Testament Law and covenant, for those under the New Covenant of grace, we find freedom from the bondage of sin. Do I hear a Hallelujah?

17 the Lord is the Spirit. Yahweh of the OT is the same Lord who is saving people in the New Covenant through the agency of the Holy Spirit. The same God is the minister of both the Old and New Covenants. there is liberty. Freedom from sin and the futile attempt to keep the demands of the law as a means of earning righteousness (cf. Jn 8:32–36; Ro 3:19, 20). The believer is no longer in bondage to the law’s condemnation and Satan’s dominion.

The Book of Jonah: An animated story from “The Bible Project”

The book of Jonah is a story about a rebellious prophet who despises his God for loving his enemies.

Lord, watch over and protect those being threatened by all the floods and flood warnings. I especially pray for my sister, who is blocks away from the Missouri River dike. May you give them all wisdom, to know when it’s time to move away from the danger that is close by. Amen.
