Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

August 21



Habakkuk 1-3
The prophet says, “I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint.”  Later on, he says that, “The Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth keep silent before Him.”  I wonder how often we practice silence, watching, and waiting on the Lord?  When we follow Habakkuk’s example, wonderful things can happen!  Shutting out the noise of our busy lives allows us to hear what God wants us to hear.  He provides the answers we need, and the words we need to speak.  It is God who reads our hearts, understanding those things we cannot express with mere words.  So, what do you think?  Are you ready to stand watch?
