Wrath and Mercy

"LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy."  Habakkuk 3:2 (NIV)

Throughout the Bible, we read of the mighty works of God on behalf of His people. He didn't stop there, however. More recently, the great revivals of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries have been well documented. God still lives and moves among His people. He tells us in the Book of James that "the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." As in the day of Habakkuk, God's people today deserve wrath. But we can also pray like Habakkuk, that in His wrath, He will remember mercy.
