Lord I have heard of your fame: I stand in awe of your deeds, O lord. Renew them in our day, in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2

Is this a test of faith? How well a person can identify and support this claim How much meaning it has for us? We have been studying Habakkuk in hall fell, it seems to me that we live in a similar world to the one where Habbakkuk interceded with God for. One where the church "the law is paralysed and justice never prevails," (1:4) the body is divided and weakened and not able to share the abounding injustice of a God who would sacrifice part of himself to engage with us. Habakkuk leaves his encounter with God in a submission to God and an understanding of how God's plan of salvation has been mapped out across history.

The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights Habakkuk 3:19

Have Christians denied that Christ has set us free from sin into true freedom that of serving him? When we study the Bible do we deny that we are equipping ourself with the belt of truth and the feet fitted with readiness (Ephesians 6:10-20). We need to be practically active in applying scripture to our ownlives and in our community and the institutions we are part of.
