Scripture:
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14 NIV
Observation:
Habakkuk tells us that God is going to overturn those who trust in idols and nations that have done wrong. He basically is saying that when God’s justice is released, the whole earth will know about Him. In other words, judgment is coming and when that happens, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
Application:
We usually use this verse out of it’s context. When we speak of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord covering the earth, we usually think of revival. It will be an awakening, but it will be an awakening of people seeing the power of God as He judges the nations. Judgment day is coming and when it comes, the whole earth will see how awesome He is.
Prayer:
Father, as Habakkuk said in this book as well. In judgment remember mercy. Have mercy on those who claimed to know You, but are following their own paths. Let there come an awakening before the day of Your judgment when we see the goodness and power of the Lord before the day of justice. Pour out Your Spirit one more time. I see the signs of the end of all things around us, pour out Your Spirit on all flesh as You promised You would do. Let me be part of Your last days outpouring.
Your Son,
Jeff
