While flipping through channels this week in the worst decade of television programming ever, I lighted on a news channel (CNN). In a debate with Rick Santorum, Joe Lieberman said that the United States of America is the strongest and most powerful nation in the world and because of this we need not worry about any enemy retaliation that may be caused by a US strike on Syria.
The following thought came to mind as I listened to Mr. Lieberman confidently boasting.....
Recorded in Habakkuk chapter 1, the powerful Chaldeans, whom God raised up to judge Judah for turning away from Him, ALSO trusted in their own power and strength.
Habakkuk 1:11 "Then they (Chaldeans) will sweep through like the wind and pass on But they will be held guilty, They whose strength is their god."
As a nation, trusting in our own strength and power could very well be used to accomplish God's purpose, such as in the days of Habakkuk, however, it most certainly will invite God's judgement on ourselves.
