"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy." (Habakkuk 3:2 NIV)
Habakkuk, a man who dedicated his life to encourage the remnant in Judah to stay faithful even though a majority of the nation had turned away from the living God. Besides being a mouthful, Habakkuk displays a tremendous desperation for God to move in his nation and generation. He prays what I believe should be echoed by every ministry, church, pastor, and Christ follower in the world…Let us not be a generation to only hear of who you were and be amazed at what you did, but us look to who you are and what you are doing. Let your glory rain in our desolate, disobedient cultures and be merciful on us as work among them.
I believe the heart of Habakkuk was that he was unsatisfied with the hearsay of God’s works. I‘m surprised he didn‘t say "The parting of the Red Sea thing was great, but can you show us that same power and provision today?" He held his nation’s past close to his heart, but his passion was that God continue to work in mighty ways among his people. May that be our heart as well, let us thank God for what he has done for us in our past, but may yesterday’s faith not be sufficient for today. Let us unite with unrelenting passion and prayer that God would continue to accomplish remarkable things among us today.

Read all the new blogs. I cant say how proud I am that you've not only come to this conclusion, but when you talk to others you dont act like you'v got the answers, like you've seen it all, done it all. You know you dont know everything. I'm amazed at the man God's forming you into. I pray you never stop letting Him do it and that you always look at it with this perspective of joy, adoration, and determination to become the person God wants you to be and lead others to do the same. I love you baby.
