“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord , As the waters cover the sea. HABAKKUK 2:14 AMP

I read the verses before the one above and it appears to me that most of us haven't really bothered to internalize the contents. One of the things that do not surprise me is God's constant nature and judgment. He punishes sin wherever and in whomever it is found. It does not matter whether you are his favourite or his chosen one; you must steer clear of sin if you must enjoy his never ending grace.

Everyone who builds a house with violence or through shedding of innocent blood will pay the price. Everyone who gets rich by oppression and repression of other people will pay the price. It does not matter what you tell yourself or how you explain it away; the God who claim himself the Righteous Judge knows through deepest motives of a man's heart and will judge accordingly. He does not work with popular opinon, or need my consent and approval; every knee will bow to his authority and Lordship.

This is the comfort: the time is coming when the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. It does not appear yet how this will be, but considering the pedigree and power of the One speaking, you are sure of its certainty. God is at work in the lives of men, and as men respond to his call, he is changing lives and planting eternity in their hearts. With God, nothing is impossible and no life is beyond his grace.

What I am doing presently: am I advancing the knowledge of God through my activities or am I doing the opposite? Remember, an accounting will be done and appropriate judgment applied for all I do. It had better be done right and done well. His time of favour is here.
