🌪️ The Story of Habakkuk — Questions, Faith, and Trust in God
Part One:
The Prophet’s Complaint
Habakkuk lived in a time of violence and
injustice.
He asked God a bold question:
“Lord, how long shall I call for help, and You
will not listen? Why do You allow evil and injustice to prevail?”
Habakkuk’s honesty shows that it’s okay to
bring our doubts and frustrations to God.
Part Two:
God’s Answer
God responded:
- He
would use the Babylonians, a cruel nation, to bring judgment
- The
wicked would be punished in His time
- His
plan is just and wise, even when it’s hard to understand
“The righteous shall live by his faith.”
God reminded Habakkuk that faith and trust
are stronger than understanding every detail.
Part Three:
Habakkuk’s Prayer
Even as he awaited God’s plan, Habakkuk prayed
with hope:
- He
praised God for His works, wisdom, and power
- He
remembered God’s faithfulness in the past
- He
committed to trust and rejoice in God, no matter what came
“Though the fig tree does not blossom, nor
fruit be on the vines… yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God
my Savior.”
Faith is not based on circumstances, but on God’s
character.
Part Four:
Lessons from Habakkuk
Habakkuk teaches us:
- It’s
okay to question God, but trust His wisdom
- Faith
sustains us when life is confusing or hard
- God’s
justice and plans are perfect, even if delayed
- Rejoicing
and trusting God is possible even in suffering
