Habakkuk 2:4(NKJV) 4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
The proud are those who can never take no for an answer. The proud are those who think they can take care of themselves. The proud are those who see themselves sinking, but will not ask for help or take the steps toward making things right. The proud refuse help from God, because of their very own hearts.
They cannot blame it on anyone but themselves. Pride comes from within.
We don’t want to be the proud. We want to be the just.
The just will humble themselves and ask for help. The just will acknowledge that they have weaknesses and are willing to take one day at a time and work on them with the help that God provides.
The just are those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of the Almighty God. And their salvation, strength, understanding, wisdom and provision come from Him alone. The just will learn to take no for an answer and wait on the promise of God to come forth.
Who are we today? Are we the proud or are we the JUST? If we are the just then we need to walk in faith and stop trying to do everything ourselves.
We need to obey what God is saying to our hearts, no matter what things look like in front of us, and move forward in what He is saying to do.
Noah had to have faith in what God said to him in order to build the ark. Moses had to have faith in God to lead the Israelites out of bondage and captivity. Mary had to have faith in God to give birth to our Messiah despite being a virgin. Peter had to have faith in order to walk on water. There are so many things that happened in God’s word when the JUST obeyed God’s word and lived by faith.
We don’t just visit faith. We, His children, LIVE by faith, move in faith and breathe in faith.
What is God speaking to us today? Our steps taken in faith and obedience will get us there.
