Keep On Keeping On
While the details
of our daily life are different, all who approach God in prayer from time to
time will question God’s silence. When the minor prophet Habakkuk asked God for
what he needed most but still didn’t hear or feel God’s response in any way, Habakkuk
found great peace and satisfaction when he realized what God really wanted to
give him- God, Himself.
“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 NIV
The last of
Habakkuk’s chapters sings of confidence in God. As Habakkuk looks back, as we
should do too, he sees how God protected him, sheltered him, and was there for
him.
In those dark
hard days of my personal sorrow many years ago there was a song that continually
played on my radio. It was a secular song, but God used it to encourage me and
it helped me to continually have faith in Him for the strength I needed. The song
repeatedly said, “Keep on, holding on”. And that is exactly what I did, and it’s what
we need to do too, day by day, hour by hour, and sometimes, minute by minute.
It’s the Lord’s
past faithfulness remembered which eases our anxious heart and will motivate us
to holding on and believe God is with us.
“The way God
helps us make spiritual progress is by being with us to strengthen and encourage
us to ‘keep on keeping on’ in rough times.” ―Joyce Myers Battle Fields of the Mind
