Looking Up Lesson #1: Be !

Habakkuk 1:2-4 (MSG)

“GOD, how long do I have to cry out for help before You listen? How many times do I have to yell, ‘Help! Murder! Police!’ before You come to the rescue?

… I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.

Habakkuk 3:17 (NLT)

Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; 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!

Habakkuk 3:19 (NLT)

The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights (the mountains).

but it always changes our perspective … and that’s often where our Mountain-Moving miracle begins!
