FAITH CAPSULE: God is truly mindful of man but man is mindful of the world.
Psalm 8, Habakkuk 3
Perfect God is described, “O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds His chariot, who walks on the wings of the wind, who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.” (Psalm 104:1-4) What is it that is not true about God? Absolutely, nothing is false about God’s description. He cannot fail but His creation is not true to His truthfulness. Above all, God is so mindful for ones that are not sober.
God is forever true. God is truly mindful of man but man is mindful of the world. Psalmist questioned about God’s mindful for man, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.” (Psalm 8:3-6)
Man is not sober enough to know the mindful of God for man. By virtue of His mindful, He created man with dominion over the works of His hand. Man is not sober enough to get understanding but maintains worry. Habakkuk was a man greatly troubled by what was happening. Justly like today, he saw that Judah had fallen and turned away from God to false gods and evil pursuits. Habakkuk was sober enough to ignore chaos in a time of horrible spiritual decline.
Regardless of the chaos of his time, he made a choice to enter into the joyful presence of the Lord with hymn of faith as stated, “Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.” (Habakkuk3:17-19) Habakkuk’s hymn of faith asked for “feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills”
There should be knowledge in place for man that if man does have dominion over deer, then the kind of feet to walk on high hills is more than in place for man to avoid victim chaos of today.
Prayer for today: Ask for the feet that will make you walk on you high hills.
