In the last couple of
weeks, I have been dealing with mixing feelings with God. I keep wondering how
some people that do not deserve certain benefits and “happiness” in life, God
provides them those things? Many things come to my mind like, I should not be
judgmental or who I am to decide or tell who deserve or not deserve things or
why I care about what other people lives? Then I calm myself and try to not think about
it, but it is really hard not get mad at life and God.
After couple of weeks that I do not take my bible to read
something or anything, last night, I decide to take the bible and open any page
on it and read anything. It opens in the first page of the Habakkuk book. To be
honest and is kind a shame of me… I really do not remember heard about this
book before, so I read the small introduction of this book. The introduction
explains that the book is about the dialogue between the prophet Habakkuk and
God. Habakkuk was irritated with God’s “inaction” in the world. He wanted to
see God do something more, particularly in the area of justice for evildoers.
The book of Habakkuk guided his frustration into prayers and eventually praise
to God, rather than trying to run from the Lord as Jonah did.
After reading the introduction I just laugh and say in my
mind to God, “you really like to talk to me very clearly when You want!” I read
the first two chapters before falling asleep. This morning I feel relax and
happy, God spoke to me in a clear way for me to understand. I know it is hard
sometimes to understand God’s will, but we need to just focus on our mission in
this life not spend time and effort looking other people lives, material
things, the way they do or not do things, and not comparing their lives with
ours.
Habakkuk 2:2-5
so that a runner can read it. 3There is still a vision for the appointed time; it testifies to the end;
it does not deceive. If it delays, wait for it; for it is surely coming; it will not be late. 4 Some people’s desires are truly audacious; they don’t do the right thing. But the righteous person will live honestly. 5 Moreover, wine betrays an arrogant man. He doesn’t rest. He opens his jaws like the grave; like death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all nations to himself and collects all peoples for himself.
Big Hug,
