“I will stand at my
guard post. I will station myself on the wall. I will watch to see what
He will say to me…” (Habakkuk 2:1). When we speak about God’s
revelation, we’re emphasizing that God speaks to us. Here, we’re
emphasizing our response to God’s revelation. God’s Word is heard by us
when we listen to Him. “Write the vision. Make it clear on tablets so
that anyone can read it quickly” (Habakkuk 2:2). When we have heard the
Word of the Lord, we are to share it with others, We are to pray that
they will be changed by it. “The vision… will certainly happen…”
(Habakkuk 2:3). When the vision comes from the Lord, it will be a true
vision, a vision that will be fulfilled. “The righteous person will live
because of his faithfulness” (Habakkuk 2:4). These great words are
quoted by Paul in Romans 1:17. When Martin Luther read these great
words, his life was changed by the power of God. Luther’s conversion led
to the Reformation of the Church. “The Lord is in His holy temple. All
the earth should be silent in His presence” (Habakkuk 2:20). When the
Lord speaks to us, in power, from His Word, what are we to do? The first
thing we must do is this: Bow before Him in worship – “Be still and
know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
