Habakkuk 3:18-19 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,he enables me to tread on the heights.
Have you ever wanted to ask God, “If you’re in control, why does evil so often seem to prevail?” If so, you’ll identify with the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk, who entered into a great debate with God. Habakkuk, whose name may mean “wrestler”, grappled with God about questions still relevant today: How can a just God ignore injustice? Why does God allow the wicked to prosper? And how can a good God use evil to accomplish His purposes? Habakkuk struggled to understand how God works, but in the end he became convinced that he could trust God no matter how bleak or confusing the present circumstances appeared to be.
This week’s sermon will come from the book of Habakkuk, we will see how Habakkuk’s faith sighed, saw, and sang as he brought his complaints to the Lord, God answered, and Habakkuk rejoiced and found his strength in the sovereign Lord.
Praying everyone has a blessed week!
