A Life Overflowing

A podcast aimed at helping you in your walk with Jesus, tackling the hard questions in the word of God, and encouraging you in the faith. A Life Overflowing came from the verse John 10:10 which says, "The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance. I want to show you how loving God is the abundant life and what glorious adventures await when we pursue him.

Women of the Bible: Goal Setting God's Way

February 06, 2025 • Maria Montes • Season 2 • Episode 5

Write the Vision - Habakkuk

The Shunammite woman is a character in the Bible who is described in 2 Kings 4:8-37. She is a wealthy, childless woman from Shunem who is known for her hospitality and faith.

Story:

The Shunammite woman provided meals and a place to stay for the prophet Elisha.
Elisha told the woman she would have a son.
The woman's son became sick and died.
The woman carried her son to Elisha's bed, shut the door, and left.
The woman went to Elisha for help, and he raised her son from the dead.

We will go into this story much deeper in the future, but I wanted to share the jist of it all, so you could see all that she had to go through to make it possible for Habakkuk to be born. He was a prophet, that wrote the very passages we’re focusing on today.

Habakkuk 1:5

“Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.

I want us to get excited about the fact that God’s working behind the scenes! I want you to get excited about the possibilities with God at the CENTER of your life. I have seen so many miracles in my life, but those wouldn’t have come without me truly going ALL IN and making Jesus the center of my life. BELIEVE, my friends!

So Habakkuk is complaining about life and the evil that is going on and seemingly allowed by the Lord, and the Lord responds to Him and says..

Habakkuk 2:2 -3

Then the Lord replied:

“Write down the vision
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald[a] may run with it.
3 For the revelation (God already has a plan for your life and mine. He has goals, dreams, and desires for us to complete.) awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay.
