Habakkuk was a prophet who found
himself being sadden by the corruption he saw around him. With this weighing on his heart, he decided
to question God.
Some may say but I thought we
shouldn’t question God, as he is God.
Yet is that a religious mindset or relationship mindset? Selah
In a relationship whether it be a
parent with a child, a teacher with their student, or a husband and wife; we
all have had a question or two come up in our relationships that needed to be
answered. Since Christ blood restored
our relationship with him, Habakkuk shows that it is perfectly okay to ask God
a question. Yet we are to be aware that
his response may not always be what we would like to hear.
In this short book, Habakkuk ask
the question and God responds with an answer.
The book ends with Habakkuk prayer.
The book shows that God wants us to come to him with our struggles and
with our cares. It’s a beautiful
reminder that even when things aren’t making any sense, God bring his strength
and reassures us that he is yet in control. We are to live in the strength of
his Spirit. Is this easier said than
done? Yes, but that’s where the just shall live by faith sets in!
God answered Habakkuk and He will
answer you as well. So, what question do
you have for Him? Be aware as the answer
may surprise you.
