Habakkkuk means whom the Lord embraces... and Habakkuk could use an embrace after hearing the coming judgement but coming mercy as well
Book of Habakkuk, a struggle, ultimate futility of the nations in some senses and going forward, faith in a God who will accomplish all His pleasure

God tells Habakkuk He is doing something YOU HABAKKUK would not believe even if you were told. Is that a type of irony for God to say that to a prophet?
The justified (by faith) shall live is set in contrast to the proud (who have no need of faith except in themselves) and is also in contrast to the summary statement in 2:13,14 where the nations labor for nothing. God's purpose will stand and The death shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea (which is completely).

Jonah 1:1-3. Jonah told by God to go preach to Nineveh
Went by boat to Tarshish instead
Storm came up, Jonah thrown overboard
Swallowed by great fish, then spit out on land
Jonah told again to preach to Nineveh
Jonah tells God he didn’t want to preach to Nineveh because he knew God would forgive them if they repented
They repented and God forgave them
Jonah was angry & went outside the city to see what would happen
God caused a gourd to grow up and give him shade
A worm caused the plant to die & Jonah was angry
God asked Jonah if it was right for him to be angry about the plant, Jonah said yes
God said, should I not pity the 120,000 souls in Nineveh

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.

rust of them shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye
have heaped treasure together for the last
days.

reaped down your fields, which is of you
kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of
them which have reaped are entered into the
ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

chased as the chaff of the mountains before
the wind, and like a rolling thing before the
whirlwind.

through the fire for them?

wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the
Lord GOD;)

upon it.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she
set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it
not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 That it might cause fury to come up to
take vengeance; I have set her blood upon
the top of a rock, that it should not be
covered.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe
to the bloody city! I will even make the pile
for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume
the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones
be burned.
1Tim 6:20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to
thy trust, avoiding profane and vain

contentions? who hath babbling? who hath
wounds without cause? who hath redness of
eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they
that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth his colour in the cup,
when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and
stingeth like an adder.

nigh and come, that we may know it!

dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the

in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for
mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of
hosts.
6) Then flew one of the seraphims unto me,

this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is
taken away, and thy sin purged.
