“Victory from the Vision”

Habbakkuk gives us the reminder to write out the vision on the tablets for all to see and it will not tarry. This book shows us the power of a personal dialogue between us and God. It also gives us a “theophany,” or a visible appearance of God. Habakkuk reminds us that the just shall live by faith. We are to live by faith even when we are perplexed by the evil happenings going on around us. Our dialogue should be directed to God, much like Habakkuk’s was. When we can align our vision to God’s vision for the future and our dialogue wills the throneroom of His dwelling place it is then that the victorious visions can be released from His throne into this dispensation. Habakkuk does just this and is given two of the most beautiful visions that the “just shall live by His faith and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.” We as humans are limited by time, but God who is infinite knows no time and knows when the vision will come to pass. Our job is to allow the vision to come and for us to keep it alive by fighting from victory not for victory. When we do this it will surely come!
