Give thanks to the Lord; proclaim his name! 

Make his works known among the peoples.

Declare that his name is exalted.

Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens.

You have done great things, O God. Who is like you?

Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things.

Let this be known throughout the earth.

My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you;

my soul also, which you have redeemed.

Cry out and sing, citizens of Zion,

for the Holy One of Israel is among you in his greatness.

From Isaiah 12 & Psalm 71

Upside Down & Hanging On 
Pastor Jason Stephens

1 I will take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.
4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.
5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

Habakkuk 2:1–5

1. The Vision’s Condition (vv. 2-3)
2. The Vision’s Contents (vv. 4-5)

Don’t just live by faith; from faith, turn the world right-side up

Prayer Prompts

• What might you be holding onto instead of trusting God?
• What promise is God calling you to trust in this season?
• What has God given you burden for? What is God calling you to turn right-side up?
