Habakkuk was an Old Testament prophet who was a fight of a complainer (Habakkuk 1). But nosotros should survive careful non to approximate him. He was a faithful prophet of God during a hard fourth dimension inwards Israel’s history.
In fact, he is a expert illustration for us. He looked at circumstances together with felt similar God’s judge was non prevailing. But inwards the end, he realized that circumstances practise non create upwards one's hear the faithfulness of God.
We aren’t promised shine sailing, cracking wealth, or popularity. We are promised something far better. We are promised the forcefulness of God!
Habakkuk's three-chapter majority ends amongst a triumphant contention of organized faith that nosotros tin give the sack besides embrace:
“Even though the olive crop fails, together with the fields prevarication empty together with barren; fifty-fifty though the flocks exceed inwards the fields, together with the cattle barns are empty, nonetheless I volition rejoice inwards the Lord! I volition survive joyful inwards the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength!” Habakkuk 3:17-19
I encourage y'all to recite this passage out loud, putting your acquaint difficulties inwards the start sentence.
