Habakkuk [The Message]

Debauchery: excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure.

This prophet takes up the task of predicting the fall of those who seek their own gain at the expense of everyone else. He says, “You’ve engineered the ruin of your own house.  In ruining others you’ve ruined yourself. You’ve undermined your foundations, rotted out your own soul. [Hab. 2:10]

Moses declared, “The pleasure of sin only lasts for a season.” Temporary fulfillment and pleasure can have eternally dreadful consequences if a person doesn’t find Christ.

It’s sad to watch a debauched person go down by their own doing. Pray for them. Look for chances to show them the love of Jesus. HE LOVES THEM.
