If you feel worried and find yourself wrestling with God over what’s going on in our broken world right now … you’re not alone! Who knew this small book from the old testament would have such a powerful message for what were facing right now. It’s packed with solid and deep teaching about wrestling with God through difficult times, listening for God’s voice and trusting Him and His plan. I highly recommend this six week bible study and podcast series.
When the storms of life come, you have a choice. Are you going to live by fear or by faith?
With a worldwide pandemic, an uncertain economy, a tumultuous presidential election season, and deep divisions over race, schooling, and more, it is enough to make even the staunchest person tremble. Where is God? Is He still in control? Why does He seem to be so silent?
“The book of Habakkuk, named after its author, is about learning to believe that God is good and maintains control even when there is so much evil and tragedy in the world around us,” says Dannah Gresh, author of the new Bible study,Habakkuk: Remembering God’s Faithfulness When He Seems Silent “We need the lessons of Habakkuk always, but in an urgent and desperate way right now.”
The prophet Habakkuk was no stranger to storms. He faced cultural challenges, wrestled with uncertainty, and questioned God, yet his story is now an example of how to live by faith.
“When the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines; when the olive trees do not produce and the fields yield no crops; when the sheep disappear from the pen and there are no cattle in the stalls—I will rejoice because of the Lord; I will be happy because of the God who delivers me! The Sovereign Lord is my source of strength. He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.” Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NET)

“Let us not be surprised when we face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger. Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.” -Amy Carmichael (Quoted in Habakkuk: Remembering God’s Faithfulness When He Seems Silent/Releasing September 2020.)
