Devotional Thought from Reading Bible while in Liberia

Devotional thoughts
Just read Nahum and Habakkuk at 5 AM and I have made notes in my Bible of all the verses that reminded me of where I am right now

Like these notes I just wrote by Hab 1:3-4
"In Liberia a second time. This is a hard land.  I hear it is the second most corrupt in the world. It is hard to not throw up your hands when seeing all this."

"Yes this verse seems to picture what I have seen this week.  There is no justice. The stories told by Dr Wilson at the Baptist Seminary speak clearly to this. Lord, have mercy on this land"

Hab 2:2-3 spoke to me
I reminded Caitlin(my granddaughter) to memorize verse 14 
We are to never lose hope.  "Wait for it". " the world will be covered with the knowledge of The Lord as the waters cover the sea" 
And verse 20. "The Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silent before Him"

Here is a verse I read that seems to speak of much of the poor health here

"I hear, and my body trembles; my lips quiver at the sound; rottenness enters into my bones; my legs tremble beneath me. Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us. 
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, "
Have patience you say. All these wrongs will be righted
I hear the steady roar of a generator all night as I try to sleep.  If only it were just the bullfrogs by the river.  I cover myself with bug spray, a healthier option than malaria.  I watch what I eat and drink because of cholera in this land.
Rice, rice, rice. The people are sick and stay that way because they either don't or can't get the right foods.  This is a land that could grow vegetables, but the few we have gotten are masked in a sauce over rice and some kind of meat.

Indeed there is rottenness in the bones.  Lord, have mercy!
