Waiting Upon God thro Hard Times
(Prayer Walk thro Hab 1-3)
Context: Looking around Judah,
Habakkuk observes injustice.
What he sees causes him to cry
out to God with his perplexing
questions: Why are the wicked
prospering? Why are the righteous
beaten down? Why don’t You do
something to right the wrongs ?
God’s reply is shocking: I’ll use a
nation more corrupt than Judah –
Chaldeans -to cleanse My people
of their wicked ways. In stunned
disbelief, Habakkuk responds:
How in the name of holiness can
You do that God? And when God
answers the prophet’s question,
Hab responds in prayer of faith.
Dear Lord, thank you for the book
of Habakkuk that shows You God
is still in control of this world in
spite of apparent triumph of evil.
During difficult circumstances,
You God wants us to come to You
with our struggles & even doubts.
And You will sustain us by revealing
yourself for our hope come from U.
Help us Lord to Keep On Praying;
Help us to Trust U by Waiting on U;
Help us Find Strength in U. Amen.
