He hears....

Yesterday, I was so disturbed in the spirit that I could not sleep, I was so restless on my bed and one thought that kept springing up in my mind (which I believe is the voice of the Lord) was "Get up and read the book of Habbakuk"
I was tired after a long day of getting my braids done and some driving around trying to sort out stuf i.r.o my new place, I was not feeling so strong and it was a struggle to heed the instruction from God to get up and read my Bible.
I finally obeyed and got up and my my my, boy was I hit in the face in the first verses that I read in the first Chapter of that Book.
To give a background to my musing of today, I just re-read a book written by Sis Yewande Zaccheus "Gods waiting Room" and one of the bible passages that she held onto during the trying period of 9 years she was waiting for her 2nd child was from this book in the bible, Habb 2 vs 2-3. As I wanted to start reading the book of Habakkuk, I asked God to please give me my own Rhema from his word that I may also hold unto it and run with it.
I tell you, from the first verse of the first chapter Habakkuk, i started to cry, It was like God was talking to me directly, because the first question out of the mouth of Habakkuk was exactly what I had been telling God on my bed while I was restless. I read the whole book and I felt that God really talked to me on a personal basis and the word that he Gave me my dear can be found in chapter 3 vs 17 - 19.
Yes, I will rejoice in the Lord, the Lord is my Strenght at all times. To crown it all, in Church today, the message for the day was about Uncommon favour and the passage taken was on the story of Esther about how she found favour in the eyes of the King. She rejoiced, did what the King liked and praised the King despite the dire situation that she was in with her people's existence being threatened by Haman. She found favour in the eyes of the King and was able to deliver her people from death.
This just estblished the word I received from God the night before, though it may be very hard, considering the physical things i see around me, I will PRAISE HIM!! Though the devil may want to discourage me and depress me, I will PRAISE HIM!!!
