Habakkuk 2:1-4 King James Version 2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Daily Devotion: Can God Be Clearly Seen In Your Life?

Sometimes we wonder… God why? Well, the answer is what portal in your life is welcoming unnecessary warfare? Is it the music you listen to? Is it the pictures that you post that are inappropriate? Is it the shirts that you are wearing that do not exemplify Christ? That’s the answer. If you want and need God to move in your life. Then you have to make a clear path for him to have his way in your life. Keep going and make it clear and make plain to God that you need God to move in a quick and speedy way.

1 In the beginning(A) God created(B) the heavens(C)and the earth.(D) 2 Now the earth was formless(E) and empty,(F) darkness was over the surface of the deep,(G) and the Spirit of God(H) was hovering(I) over the waters.
3 And God said,(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.(K) 4 God saw that the light was good,(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.(M) 5 God called(N) the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”(O) And there was evening, and there was morning(P)—the first day.
6 And God said,(Q) “Let there be a vault(R) between the waters(S) to separate water from water.”7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.(T) And it was so.(U) 8 God called(V) the vault “sky.”(W) And there was evening, and there was morning(X)—the second day.

Lately, I have been thinking alot about my life. In four years I will be thirty and I have been doing alot of reflection due to my upcoming divorce. I have learned that you have to be very careful with seeking advice and suggestions because you do not know someone’s hidden intentions. Recently I have come across some stories from people who told me that people have smiles on their faces but they have done something to their vehicle and their bank accounts and they have no idea why. They have known these people for over two years and they cannot figure out why people have done this. Again.. The suggestion. When Cain lured Abel he smiled and pretended to be friendly but he was so jealous of him. Abel was the prophecy of Jesus. Cain was like Judas Iscariot. Be careful and guard your heart, Before you consult anyone you should always consult the true and living God first.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth – Ecclesiastes 11:2
3 Then God ordered me, “Start all over: Love your wife again,
your wife who’s in bed with her latest boyfriend, your cheating wife.
Love her the way I, God, love the Israelite people,
even as they flirt and party with every god that takes their fancy.”
2-3 I did it. I paid good money to get her back.
It cost me the price of a slave.
Then I told her, “From now on you’re living with me.
No more whoring, no more sleeping around.
You’re living with me and I’m living with you.”

4-5 The people of Israel are going to live a long time
stripped of security and protection,
without religion and comfort,
godless and prayerless.
But in time they’ll come back, these Israelites,
come back looking for their God and their David-King.
They’ll come back chastened to reverence
before God and his good gifts, ready for the End of the story of his love.
