Grace for your spirit June 12, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by faith  Habakkuk 2:4

Israel was on a path of destruction.  Their enemies waited outside their door and they were arrogant about their power to overcome.  They were proud of their heritage, but they had not been faithful and they knew it.  If they had faith in God, and did the right things, He would guide them to ultimate victory.  They would literally live by faith.  Paul uses the same thought to present the gospel of Jesus in Romans 1:17;  If we are proud, we will die in our sins, but if we walk by faith, we will live,  It is the power of God for salvation.
