“I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts, I will look to see what He will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint.” Habakkuk 2:1.
Tucked away near the end of the Old Testament is a beautiful book named after a prophet of God named Habakkuk. He is pleading to God for the deliverance of evil back in his time and for God to show Himself as the One who performed miraculous works. His prayers were both faithful and expectant as He remained patiently waiting for God to take control of his circumstances.
Back in his day, military personnel would stand watch in watchtowers allowing a better view and more secure protection against any approaching enemies to overtake the city. No one could distract this watchman away from his post. Habakkuk describes his willingness to wait on God’s answer to the watchman awaiting any forward action required on his part until he has the appropriate view and permission to proceed.
Waiting on God to move in our circumstances is crucial to the success and victory in any battle for which we fight. We must climb up into our watchtowers to obtain a higher view of our circumstances instead of the limited ground level appearance. By taking a stance in our towers and not giving in to distractions, we are better stationed to stay focused on our horizons as God reveals. In His own timing, He will reveal any forward movement in a given situation as He feels is necessary.
The wait may be tedious and the night may be long but the tower view allows God to show you resolution in your present situation one hill at a time. Don’t desert your post!
