Habakkuk’s Prayer

2 I have heard all about you, Lord.
I am filled with awe by your amazing works.
In this time of our deep need,
help us again as you did in years gone by.
And in your anger,
remember your mercy.
3 I see God moving across the deserts from Edom,
the Holy One coming from Mount Paran.
His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,
and the earth is filled with his praise.
4 His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise.
Rays of light flash from his hands,
where his awesome power is hidden.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
able to tread upon the heights.


It is sunrise on the last day of KAA – U – KNOW 2009. We will head home tonight. God has given us a beautiful day (again) for our last day.

Read again the opening and closing of this beautiful prayer from the prophet Habakkuk (not one of our most spoken of prophets, probably because we stumble all over his name). As I observe the beauty of this last morning on this mountain, Habakkuk reminds me it’s all about the LORD!
