Devotion 1 of 2: Hab 3

This is the last chapter of the short book of Habakkuk. I think it gives a more detailed answer to Habakkuk’s 2nd question of how can God use a wicked nation to punish His people? The answer was that after God uses the wicked nation to purify His people, He will judge that evil nation, and we must believe it and live by that faith.
Endtime application: The wicked nation will be AC and his coalition. They will persecute the church and make it hot or cold, not lukewarm. So, this persecution will cause the church to become a revival church, the LDC, which will cause a world-wide revival and win multitudes of souls to salvation.
Then in T2, the last half of the tribulation, God will send pestilence (v.5), scatter mountains (v.6), display His wrath through rivers and seas (v.8), disrupt the functions of sun and moon (v.11), and trample AC’s nations (v.12). Let’s believe this will happen and live by that faith!

Devotion 2 of 2: 2 Tim 3

Paul is our example for overcoming many temptations of the flesh in the last days (v.1-8). He is also our model for overcoming persecutions, which all who desire to live godly will receive (v.12). Paul was even stoned and died at Lystra (Acts 14:8-20), but was raised from the dead! After that, he went right back to evangelizing!
The power to overcome temptations and persecutions came to Paul through the Scriptures! V.16-17 contain these famous verses: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Let’s be like Paul and stand on the Word of God!

デボーション2/2:2テモテ3章

パウロは、終わりの日に多くの肉の誘惑を克服する私たちの模範です(1-8節)。また、敬虔に生きようと願うすべての人が受ける迫害(12節)を克服する私たちの模範でもあります。実は、パウロはリストラで石打ちに遭い、命を落としましたが、仲間たちの祈りを受けて、復活し、その後、すぐに伝道活動に戻ったのです!(使14:8-20)
誘惑と迫害を克服する力は、聖書を通してパウロに与えられました。16-17節には、次の有名な聖句があります。「聖書はすべて神の霊感によるもので、教えと戒めと矯正と義の訓練のために有益です。それは、神の人が、すべての良い働きのためにふさわしい十分に整えられた者となるためです。」
パウロに倣い、神の言葉に立ちましょう!
