Walking through the Sea and Great Waters Habakkuk 3:15 - Equipped for Battle

The prophet Jeremiah wrote in chapter thirty-two and verse twenty-seven of his book:

Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

When we think about this question, the answer is a resounding “NO!” Nothing is too hard for God, and when it comes to Him taking vengeance upon those who have rejected Him, there is no obstacle that can impede Him. Such was the case with the wicked of Israel in Habakkuk's day, and thus it was with Chaldeans whom God used to invoke His judgment. Habakkuk continues the idea of God's power in his song recorded in chapter three and verse fifteen of his book where he wrote:

You did walk through the sea with your horses, [through] the heap of great waters.

Habakkuk said, “You did walk through the sea with your horses”. The Red Sea, the Jordan and the symbolic masses that flowed against God's people Israel were nothing in the site of God. He moved the waters of the sea, and He moved those who were the foes of Israel.

Habakkuk stated, “through the heap of great waters.” The depths of depths were created by God and none of them are an encumbrance to Him. He pushed aside the deep places and allowed His people to walk through them, and when the enemies arose in the wilderness like a towering heap, they were easily moved aside. Though the adversaries thought themselves great, they were no opponent for the power of God.

When we consider this, why would we ever doubt our Heavenly Father when He deals with our situations? Do we consider our problems heaping and beyond His ability to move or divide? Do we lean upon our own understanding and solutions instead of trusting in the one who knows everything? Do we rely upon the power of other people rather than turning our situations over to our Almighty God?

What is pressing like a massive sea right now? What looms great like heaping waters? Whatsoever they are we must remember that our God is an Awesome God, and there is nothing that is impossible for Him. May we learn to trust in our omnipotent Heavenly Father no matter how difficult life may be or become for us.

Next time we will look into the reaction of Habakkuk when He considers God's greatness, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow...there is more...
