-20) Habakkuk’s prayer (3:1-7)  Key takeaways: Gains or achievements made by harming, oppressing, or taking advantage of others do not last.  They will eventually be brought to ruin. God desires that everyone comes to know Him and works in the universe in to so that people would. Those who shame God’s people will one day be brought to shame by Him. Whenever a person sets his priorities on things made rather than on the Maker of things, he is guilty of idolatry. Effective prayer: begins with humility before God continues in adoration (worship) of God contains petitions (desires) that are in accord with God’s will If we would see a mighty working of the Spirit of God in our time, we must get to the point where we desire and earnestly pray for His mercy.  Quotable: Worship an idol, and you receive from it what human beings can accomplish; but worship the Lord God, and you receive what the creator of the ends of the earth can accomplish.  Application: Knowing God is different from knowing about God.  When we know someone, it’s about a relationship.  When we know about someone, we know data.  God wants a relationship, not a fact-based interaction. We all desire to put our trust in something.  We need to be careful about what we put our trust in.  Will it be in something man created, or will it be in the One who created man? We must not enter God’s presence lightly.  Even the mountains will crumble in His presence.   Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven’t already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.
