Habakkuk 2:4b
“But the righteous will live by his faith.”
Here God is telling Habakkuk, “you will live,” by faith. You won’t always have solutions to your problems, answers to your questions but “your going to live by faith.” You won’t always know what I am doing or how I am working but “you will live by faith.” Encouraging words to Habakkuk then and to us today, no matter what we may be going through.
Spurgeon described faith this way, “Faith is an act continued and persevered throughout the entire life of man; what breath is to the body, so faith is to the soul.” This means faith is not a one time thing - here today and gone tomorrow. No, it is deeply engrained into our lives and is as much a part of us as our very breath.
So breathe deep, trust in God and know that He has a plan, He is working, He sees you, He knows you and what you have need of and, that all things are working together for good.
The Truth
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17)
