Habukkuk I
Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:4 ESV)
How to Live
Anyone who thinks we can impress God has a puffed up soul. And that soul is not upright.
Scripture abounds with statements that assure us that all have sinned.
Birds do not generally swim. Camels do not dwell on snowy mountains. Snakes do not eat at kitchen tables. Nor do humans act righteously.
But we have been given a way to survive.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is that faith that enables us to walk with God. It is that faith that enables us to be the children of God. It is that faith that enables us to obey Him, to belong to Him, and to enjoy Him.
Start with faith. The rest follows.
