Part of my daily devotional reading for yesterday was the book of Habakkuk.
Habakkuk 3:16 (NLT) I trembled inside when I heard all this; my lips quivered with fear. My legs gave way beneath me, and I shook in terror. I will wait quietly for the coming day when disaster will strike the people who invade us. [17] Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vine; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, [18] yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation. Shared from PocketBible for Windows Store (http://www.laridian.com)
Even though he was well aware of the coming devastation the God would bring on Israel, and him, he would rejoice in the Lord and be joyful in the God of his salvation.
That leads me to wonder, how should I pray? What should I pray for? This is a conundrum for me. God is interested in EVERY detail of a believers life. His plan is always what is best for believers. How can I pray anything other than “Your will be done” and "Help me to see the path You would have me walk this day". Coupled with those prayers I should strive for Habakkuk’s attitude; rejoicing over the salvation given me by God and knowing that He is in control.
