On sunday our pastor was preaching out of Habakkuk and I thought this one part was really cool. It was about how you can have a frear that comes from your faith in God. I guess I always knew that but I never really thought about it. Some of the notes I took were...
- Habakkuk belived God had the power to bring about judgment. He believed that God would do exactly waht He said.
- Remember, to fear, to physically tremble under certain conditions, does not necessarily mean that you have no faith.
- we need more fear, to be fearful of God and His justuce, faith produces fear.

so yup that is half of what I was thinkin about sunday I was also thinking about something else the pastor was preaching on and that was about joy and being thankful in hard times. The secret of joy lies in its object (it's what you are joyful in) Everything was taken from Habakkuk but he didn't stop thanking God because his joy was found in Him.

My prayer is that i can be like that finding my joy in Christ alone and have a fear that is a result of my faith in God.
