Habakkuk 2:5 | He Can't Be Satisfied

There are shirts in my closet from a version of church I don't do anymore.

Habakkuk 2:5 is the last thing God says about the Chaldean before the woes begin. Wine is treacherous. He doesn't stay home, he enlarges his desire like Sheol, he heaps up all peoples and none of it fills him. Proverbs says Sheol is never satisfied and neither are a person's eyes. Ryan confesses the big attractional years, the shirts he still owns, and how much easier it is to measure eighteen singers on a stage than anything that matters. Last week was the net, the method. This is the appetite underneath it. Before the weekend, name the number that would be enough, and look at whether you've been working for that one or the one after it.

Anchored in Habakkuk 2:5. Part of The Waiting Season, a walk through the three chapters of Habakkuk.
