Glory in the Midst of Darkness

So I'm reading the prophet Habakkuk. Most of it is about judgment and the purity of the Lord. 1:13 says "You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong." Habbakkuk is complaining the Lord has taken a long time to bring about justice for the oppressed.

There are plenty of "woes" in this short book. But right in the midst is this wonderful verse:

2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."

It's like this incredible promise in the midst of doom and gloom. That the purity of God, the glory of God, will be known by everyone.

I'm going to meditate on this verse today. How about you? Is your day filled with darkness? Know the purity and wonder of God today. Let the knowledge of Him fill your world.
