January 22 – MAKE IT CLEAR

 And the Lord said, “Write down the vision I give you; make it clear so the one who reads it will understand and spread hope.” (Habakkuk 2:2)

 

               What do you do when everything is crashing around you, and you have run out of answers? That situation is exactly where Habakkuk found himself just before hearing these words.

 

Facing an overwhelming force, which credited its success to pagan gods, other Israelites cowered in fear, but Habakkuk remembered God. So, Habakkuk, the prophet – God’s leader – went to the place (2:1) where he talked with God, and he prayed for the answer. The Lord gave His answer to Habakkuk and his people. It was an assurance of His power; a reminder that men and the lifeless objects men trust are no match for Him. In short, the message was, “Don’t be afraid. Trust me.” God’s instruction to Habakkuk was just as simple, “Lead my people.” He tells Habakkuk to communicate encouragement and hope in a way they will understand.

 

These same responses will be God’s answer when you go to your place and meet Him during your difficult times. The details will change, but the vision of Hope will always be the same. Write it down. Make it clear.
