Habakkuk 2

I will stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected. v.1

Read chapter 2
Now Habakkuk is ready to see  how's the Lord going to respond this time.  He's waiting to see what will he get back from his complaint, what is God going to say to all this from the prophet's second question at the end of chapter one.  After not being ready for God's response to his first prayer that He would use the Chaldeans to overtake God's people, Habakkuk now stands ready for God's answer and not his own.  He's going to wait and see what God's response to the turmoil will be instead of taking matters into his own hands.  The next verse God answers him.  I wonder if God waited till he was still long enough to answer him.  How impatient we all can be wanting an answer to our prayers, when God has it for us we just don't stop to listen or receive it.  Now that doesnt mean we're to sit in silence till God answers, but to sit in our prayers of hopeful expectation, alertness, attitude of anticipation of God's answer as we go about our day.  We have the completed Word today and that is the primary way God speaks in this dispensation we're living in.  So to hear His answer we can't just expect to ask quick in a prayer and then go on to immerse ourselves in TV, books, music, activities and wonder when God's going to show up.  "You can't ignore the Scripture, get minimum doses of it in your life, fill your life with other things, and expect to get answers from God" (Nancy DeMoss).  Habakkuk is also ready for correction, as hard as it is to be corrected because of our pride we also need the mindset of desiring the Lord's reproof.
How can you or need to take the Habakkuk stance in your life?
