God has a plan for Venezuela

What we are currently living in Venezuela is similar to the two kingdoms that emerged after the death of King Solomon, commonly known as the northern kingdom and southern kingdom. There is no doubt, that the results of the presidential elections held last Sunday, clearly shows the marked breach between government and opposition, the Venezuelan people are divided in terms of their political ideologies as was the nation of Israel at that time. History tells us that both kingdoms (the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah), were in a serious financial crisis, their governments were corrupt, there was a high rate of insecurity, they killed each other, the sentences were dictated with injustices, were greedy, idolatrous and quarrelsome.

In these circumstances the prophet Habakkuk emerges; his most distinctive feature compared to the other prophets, was that he argued with God about his way of doing things, he found it difficult to understand why being so good, it allowed the affliction of the righteous and the prosperity of the wicked. He complained to the Lord about the corrupt and violent society in which he lived, and even claimed his passivity to the problem.

Read carefully Habacuc's complaint:

Until when, Lord, I have to ask you for help without you listening to me? How long will I complain about the violence without you saving us? Why do you make me witness calamities? Why should I contemplate suffering? I see destruction and violence before my eyes; quarrels arise and contests abound. Therefore, the law is hindered and justice is not pursued "(Habakkuk 1-4).

Now, read the Lord's answer:

Look at the nations! Contemplate them and be amazed! I am going to do such amazing things these days that they will not believe them even if someone explains them to them "(Habakkuk 1-5).

When things do not go as we expect, we usually ask ourselves where is God? Why does it allow injustice and impunity? Habakkuk was a prophet who felt for the society of his time what we feel today for ours. We are embraced by violence, corruption corrodes us and we can not do anything to prevent it. Habakkuk cried out for answers, because he did not doubt the omnipotence of God ... and the Lord told him what he is saying to us today: I am here, and I have a plan! We do not have a God indifferent to our individual or public problems; He is not a passive bystander, many times he allows certain things to happen so that we approach him. Let us unite in prayer in favor of his perfect plan and as the sentinel who watches from his guard post, let us wait for his help. While this is happening, let us sing like the prophet Habakkuk: "Even if the fig tree does not bloom, neither will there be fruit in the vines; ... yet I will rejoice and rejoice in God my deliverer" (Habakkuk 3: 17-18).

Trust in God, everything will be fine.
