The Prophets, Prayer, and Perspective
In chapter 3 of Habakkuk the word prayer is used as an act of devotion. The Lord would revive His work among the people in the midst of the years of adversity. This may be applied to every season when the church, or believer, suffers under afflictions, and trials. Mercy is what we must flee to for refuge, and rely upon as our only plea. We must not say, remember our merits, but, Lord remember thy own mercy. The prophet once felt perplexed; now he has peace. He once felt confused; now he feels contentment. He once felt fearful; now he has faith in the future God has planned. The only thing that changed was his perspective!
What a song, and melody that we as REAL Men must sing daily. The word "Shigionoth" means, make a melody or a song of.....For example, How Great is our God.
