PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH AND NATION:
Show yourself straight, true, and honest with others (Hab 2:6–8). #Repent #TurnNowToGod #Judgment
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
Now the prophet writes as God instructed. It is a lyrical song of taunts, sung by the prophet; a woeful dirge. Verse 1 – Babylon had ill gotten gain through merciless intimidation and extortion. She shall not go unpunished. Her debtor nations will rise up as one against her and plunder her.
Babylon, the victimizer will become the victim. She is seen as trembling violently before her oppressors. She will suffer the penalty of her crimes; reap what she had sown (Pro 22:8; Gal 6:7) and so she did. These words may be applied to all the nations at any time. ”The Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him” (2:20)
Lord, defrauding comes to my mind. May I never defraud another. If I have, show me, that I might make it right.
