God Breaks All the Weapons of Warfare (v. 3)
- There He broke the arrows of the bow: Jerusalem became the center of Israel when David conquered the city and brought peace to the city of peace (2 Samuel 5:6-10).
- During this time, Jerusalem was at war and in chaos after the death of Saul, Jonathon, and their family!
- God raised up a man after His heart named David to bring peace and order!
- How? God broke the weapons of those set against Him and His people.
This section closes with Selah!
- When we see the word selah in a psalm or in Habakkuk 3, we should pause to reflect (carefully weigh) the meaning of what we have just read or heard, lifting up our hearts in praise to God for His great truths.
