Podcasts about Habakkuk

Is your heart asking, “How long, O Lord”? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break—or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop—or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.In this message from Habakkuk, Jill Briscoe offers encouragement for the tough times in life.

"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights." Habakkuk 3:17-19 NLTTake time to reflect on this year, and identify areas where you could rejoice more in God and rely more on His strength— no matter what 2026 holds.

Scientists studied the resilience of sixteen societies worldwide, including the Yukon and Australian Outback. They analyzed thousands of years of archaeological records, tracing the impact of famines, wars, and climate. One factor stood out—the frequency of downturns. One would think that they would weaken societies, but the researchers found the opposite to be true. Instead, they found that societies that faced frequent hardships developed resilience, bouncing back faster from future challenges. Stress, it appears, can forge resilience. The prophet Habakkuk understood this kind of resilience. As he considered Judah's impending devastation, he painted a bleak picture: “crop fails,” “no sheep . . . no cattle,” and barren land (3:17). Amid earthly securities being stripped away, however, the prophet declared, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior” (v. 18). His joy wasn’t tied to circumstances and earthly pleasures but anchored in God’s unchanging character and salvation. In the bleakest seasons, the prophet chose joy and became more resilient. Like Habakkuk and those resilient societies, our spiritual endurance grows through repeated adversity. When we face difficult seasons in life, let’s cling to our hope in God and remember that He’s with us—using our challenges to grow our joy and resilient faith.

Why do bad things happen to good people? In this powerful father-son conversation, Kirk and James Cameron dive deep into the age-old question of suffering, tragedy, and God's purpose in our pain. With biblical stories from Job, Habakkuk, and the crucifixion of Jesus, they explore how trials build faith, character, and hope—and why God is still good, even in the hardest seasons. If you've ever felt like God was distant in your pain, this episode is for you.   To learn more about the sponsor of today's show and what our family currently uses for our healthcare check out Christian Healthcare Ministries by visiting https://hubs.ly/Q02vWQGy0    Editing and production services provided by thepodcastupload.com   #TheKirkCameronShow #KirkCameron #WhyDoesGodAllowSuffering #TheProblemofEvil #ChristianPodcast #DangerousConversations #JoeRogan

In this episode, we explore God's answer to Habakkuk's cry: “Write the vision; make it plain.” God assures the prophet that His justice will come at the appointed time—even if it seems delayed. Habakkuk 2 contrasts the pride of the wicked with the faith of the righteous, declaring that “the righteous will live by faith.” Through a series of “woes,” God exposes the emptiness of greed, violence, injustice, and idolatry, reminding us that human power always falls short. The passage ends with a call to reverent trust: the Lord reigns from His holy temple, and all the earth is invited to stand in awe before Him.   Featuring Pastor Bryan Hurlbutt At Lifeline Church West Jordan, Utah

Pastor Chad shares a forward-looking, faith-filled message centered on what God is calling the church into for 2026, built around three themes: going higher, walking in God's favor, and sharing the good news boldly. Drawing from Habakkuk, Luke, and Romans, he teaches that not every obstacle is meant to be removed—some mountains are meant to be climbed, because it's on the ascent that God strengthens faith and reveals who He is. He emphasizes that God's favor is not about a pain-free life, but about God's unearned grace empowering believers beyond their own ability in every season. Finally, he challenges the church to embrace its obligation, eagerness, and boldness to share the gospel, reminding listeners that the good news carries real power to change lives and that God is actively stirring a fresh movement of evangelism for the days ahead.

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Psalm 37:3, Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Dr. Bryan Hudson teaches that biblical joy is not dependent on circumstances but is a deep, settled gladness rooted in God's presence, promises, and purposes. Joy is defined as delight—being “bent” toward God in devotion, obedience, and purpose—rather than temporary happiness that comes and goes. Drawing from Luke 2, Psalm 37, Nehemiah, and Habakkuk, the message explains that true joy develops as believers delight themselves in the Lord, abide in Him daily, and remain committed to His will even in difficulty. Using Nehemiah's example, Dr. Hudson shows that joy is strengthened when people refuse to become comfortable in complacency, stay aligned with God's mission, and serve others faithfully. Ultimately, “the joy of the Lord is your strength” because a life bent toward God produces enduring resilience, purpose, and spiritual power.

Pastor K Jay delivered a timely message titled “Make It Plain,” calling us to quiet the noise, hear God clearly, and run with the vision He's already placed within us.KEY TAKEAWAYS ⬇️✨ Vision gives structure and purposeWithout vision, life becomes unrestrained and mismanaged. Vision brings discipline, order, and direction to what God has called you to do.Proverbs 29:18✍

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Dec28.pdf * We have seen that Jesus came to establish a "New and Living" Way into the Presence of God. Through the sacrificial death of the Messiah, we can - by faith - come openly and with confidence into YHWH's presence knowing that this is the fulfillment of His Redemptive Plan. * The author of the book of Hebrews then chastened and exhorted the Messianic Jews to not be deceived into thinking that they needed to turn back to the Law. If they did so, they would be trampling the sacrifice of the Messiah and placing their confidence in their ability to "work" for their salvation. * He quoted the prophet Habakkuk, declaring: "The just shall live by faith." * He now transitions into a discussion of what faith is and what it looks like. He, again, reveals that this Redemptive Plan of God spans from Creation through his current day. * Lord willing, we will be spending the next four weeks considering this marvelous chapter. Today, we begin by considering the Foundation and Focus of Faith. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on December 28, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

A brief devotion in preparation for a season of thanksgiving, considering Habakkuk's resolution to rejoice in the face of the loss not just of the mere delights of life but the very supports of life. However, when all is gone, God is not, and God is still good. Habakkuk therefore, facing the worst of all possible futures in this world, looks up to the God of salvation and resolves to rejoice and so bring glory to God whatsoever comes to pass.

In this section of Habakkuk's oracle, God narrates the prophesied destruction of Babylon, the evil empire that would crush rebellious Judah. Through this description of Babylon's self-destructive actions and God's just judgment, we receive timeless lessons on how we ought to live today. As we get ready for a new year, this text vividly showcases the folly of pursuing, placing our hope in, and worshipping idols, and the goodness of trusting in God, our Creator, instead.

20 Proverbs 26-27; 34 Nahum 1-3; 35 Habakkuk 1-3; 36 Zephaniah 1-3; 19 Psalms 133-138; 66 Revelation 3-9

According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary, Habakkuk means (embrace). This book would be the eighth, in order, of the Minor Prophets. Of the facts of the prophet's life, we have no certain information.One important aspect of the ancient Old Testament order of the Hebrew Bible is that the 12 prophetic works of Hosea through Malachi, sometimes referred to as the Minor Prophets, were designed as a single book called The Twelve. Habakkuk is the eighth book of The Twelve.Habakkuk lived in the final decades of Judah, Israel's southern kingdom. It was a time of injustice and idolatry, and he saw the rising threat of the Babylonian empire on the horizon. Unlike the other Hebrew prophets, Habakkuk doesn't accuse Israel or even speak to the people on Yahweh's behalf. Instead, all of his words are addressed to Yahweh. The book of Habakkuk tells us about Habakkuk's personal struggle to believe that Yahweh is good when there is so much tragedy and evil in the world.Habakkuk sees the darkness of the world as an invitation to have faith in Yahweh's promise to one day set things right. Living with such faith means trusting that Yahweh loves this world and works to one day eliminate all evil forever.Now we come to chapter 3 this is calledThe Prophet's Prayer Trust in Yahweh and His Ultimate JusticeThis is what the last chapter is all about. It opens with a prayer of Habakkuk, where the prophet begins by pleading with Yahweh to act in the present like he has in the past, bringing down corrupt nations. “Revive Thy works in the midst of the years” (Hab. 3:2). What follows is an ancient poem that describes a powerful and terrifying appearance of Yahweh through clouds, fire, and earthquake. It's very similar to the opening poems of Micah (Who is like Yahweh) and Nahum (the Compassionate), as well as the appearance of Yahweh at Mount Sinai in Exodus 19-20. When the Creator shows up to confront human evil, it will get everyone's attention.Habakkuk continues by describing the future defeat of evil among the nations as a future exodus. Just like Yahweh came as a warrior and split the sea in his battle against Pharaoh, Habakkuk says that Yahweh will once more bring his judgment down on the “head of the evil house.” Pharaoh, like Babylon, serves as a prototype of violent nations. At the same time, when Yahweh confronts evil, he will “save his people, and his anointed one” (Hab. 3:13), a reference to the coming king from the line of David. In this poem, the Exodus story of the past has become an image of a future exodus Yahweh will perform. He will once again defeat evil and bring down the Pharaohs and Babylon's of the world, bringing justice to all people and rescuing the oppressed and innocent.It's this promise that enables Habakkuk to end the book with hopeful praise. Even if the world is falling apart from food shortages, drought, war, or whatever, he will choose to trust and take joy in the covenant promise of Yahweh. By the end of the book of Habakkuk, the prophet becomes a shining example of how “the righteous live by faith.” He recognizes just how dark and chaotic the world and our lives can become, but he also sees how this invites us into the journey of faith, trusting that Yahweh loves this world more than we can imagine and that he will one day deal with its evil.Therefore the book concludes with a prayer of Habakkuk, which is a psalm of praise and trust in Yahweh. Habakkuk reflects on Yahweh's past deeds and expresses confidence in Yahweh's salvation, despite the impending hardships. He declares, "Yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the Yahweh of my salvation!"Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

THE RECALIBRATION OF OUR VISION FOR 2026 AND BEYOND. PART 1Defining Writing Down the VisionAt the core of "writing down the vision" is the idea of aligning our lives with the divine revelation, the prophetic pattern and instructions given by God regarding our purpose and destiny. This goes beyond just jotting down ideas or goals - it's about inscribing God's vision for our lives upon the tablets of our hearts and minds.Our vision is more than just a career path or something that makes us feel good about ourselves. It is the very DNA of our prophetic identity, shaping our character, principles, and reason for existence. When we get even a small part of our vision wrong, it can have far-reaching impacts across every area of our lives.The reason for this is that vision is all-consuming - it's like a raging fire that transforms how we think, see, feel and act. Our faculties - the way we perceive and process information - do not inherently know the difference between an authentic vision from God and a counterfeit one. We must intentionally feed our minds with the truth of God's word to discern true vision.Building Vision on Solid FoundationsVision cannot be constructed on feelings, the praise of others, or environments that shield us from life's realities. Many have grown up in protective bubbles that bred the wrong ideals and aspirations - a "Moses-like calling" without the wilderness training to prepare them.The enemy has cleverly provided counterfeit visions cloaked in religious language, leaving many sincerely believing they are fulfilling God's purpose. But these visions often reveal little of God's true nature and character. This deception has led to dangerous delusion, where people become convinced of lies they've come to believe.People are willing to live and die for their vision, which makes getting it right all the more critical. God is very particular about the vessels He chooses - He does not employ carnal means or tendencies to accomplish His divine counsel. His focus is on preparing and approving the vessel before the assignment.Aligning Our Hearts with God's VisionThis is a season to recalibrate our calling, vision, and purpose. We must return to the place of renewing our prophetic sight, wisdom and grace for the journey ahead. This requires examining the state of our hearts - is our first love still Christ Jesus?The concept of vision goes beyond a mere sense of duty or purpose. True vision speaks of an unending intimacy with Christ, keeping our eyes firmly fixed on His glory, majesty and beauty. It is from this place of abiding that we gain the proper perspective to see ourselves, the church, and the world around us.Writing Down the Vision"Write the vision and make it plain" (Habakkuk 2:2) is not just about jotting down ideas. It is a metaphor for inscribing God's vision upon our hearts and minds through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. This vision then becomes the living epistle that others can see expressed through our very lives and conduct.The vision must first take root in the depths of our being before it can be faithfully carried out. Jesus is the ultimate model - the Word made flesh, doing the will of the Father. Similarly, our lives must become the incarnation of the vision already written concerning us. In this way, we do not merely perform a set of tasks but embody the very nature and character of Christ. Our lives become a true reflection of God's desired plan, intention and order - a living testimony that draws others into the reality of His Kingdom.

In the second message of our series called Even Though, Pastor Mel further surveys the question, "What is hope?" by exploring the Old Testament book of Habakkuk. Defining hope as the joyful anticipation of good, he contrasts the prophet's honest complaints about suffering and injustice with God's powerful responses, highlighting key verses like Habakkuk 2:2-3 (write the vision and wait for it) and 2:4 (the righteous shall live by faith). Building to the climax in chapter 3, Mel emphasizes Habakkuk's resolve to rejoice in the Lord and find strength in God "even though" every circumstance fails—no blossoms, no fruit, no food, no herds—pointing to God's past mighty acts of salvation and His promise to revive His work with mercy amid wrath. The message closes with a stirring call to live with this same "yet" faith: trembling at God's power but quietly waiting and rejoicing in Him as the God of our salvation, no matter what comes.

What sorrow awaits rebellious, polluted Jerusalem, the city of violence and crime! No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the Lord or draw near to its God. Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey. Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain. Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God's instructions. But the Lord is still there in the city, and he does no wrong. Day by day he hands down justice, and he does not fail. - Zephaniah 3:1-5The book of Zephaniah, while being another in the line of prophets sharing God's message of judgment and repentance, deserves more time and attention than what we tend to give it. Only three chapters long, God's message through Zephaniah is a direct yet beautiful encapsulation of the themes we've seen so often in the prophets. It's a book about humility and unity. It's a book about repentance and turning hearts towards God. It's a book about God's judgment against oppressors, poor leaders, and idolatry. It's a book about the coming of the Lord and the God who not only saves, but will live among his people. To help us navigate the book of Zephaniah is Taylor Turkington, director of BibleEquipping, author of the book Trembling Faith on Habakkuk and has a commentary on Zephaniah being released next year. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Last week we ended our study time looking at a great king of Judah, Hezekiah. Today we start with one of the worst kings of Judah, Manasseh, Hezekiah's son. Manasseh reigned from 697-642 B.C. His story is found in 2 Kings 21:1-18 and 2 Chronicles 33:1-20. Manasseh reigned 55 years. He reigned longer than any other king and did more damage than any other king.  He did evil in God's eyes. It is a disgusting and tragic story.  He destroys everything good his father had done. King Manasseh     ⁃    Apostasy and Idolatry - 2 Chronicles 33:33     ⁃    Sacrificed his children  - 2 Chronicles 33:6     ⁃    Innocent blood shed including the blood of prophets -  2 Kings 21:16. (Hebrews 11:37 - ancient Jewish tradition that says it was during Manasseh's reign that Isaiah was sawn in half by Manasseh)     ⁃    Captivity in Babylon - Manasseh was taken prisoner by Assyria and taken to Babylon  - 2 Chronicles 33:11     ⁃    Repentance and return to Judah- while in prison Manasseh had a change of heart, humbling himself greatly before God and praying. The Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so God brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom, proving to Manasseh that He is the true God - 2 Chronicles 33:12-13 What we learn: God is a gracious God and hears the cries of those who humble themselves before Him.  He responds to a repentant heart.  In the final years of his life, Manasseh worked to redo things but to no avail as his son, King Amon takes the throne. Amon reigned from 642-640 B.C. and his story is found in 2 Kings 21:19-26 and 2 Chronicles 33:21-25. Amon did evil in the eyes of the Lord. King Amon     ⁃    Return to idolatry - 2 Chronicles 33:22-23     ⁃    Conspiracy and Assassination - 2 Chronicles 33:24-25 - Josiah, Amon's son was then made king. King Josiah Josiah is just a boy when he begins his 31 year reign and in Pastor's opinion, the greatest king of Judah. Josiah reigned from 640-609 B.C. His story is found in 2 Kings 22:1-23:30 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. During his reign there were many prophets: Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk and Huldah.  God is working to bring the nation back to Himself. During King Josiah's reign, Judah experienced three of its happiest decades: peace, prosperity and revival.  King Josiah     ⁃    Young King seeks the God of David - he followed in the ways of David - 2 Kings 22:1-2 and 2 Chronicles 34:3      ⁃    Spiritual cleansing of Jerusalem - 2 Chronicles 34:4-5     ⁃    Book of the Law of God written by Moses (possibly the original Torah) is discovered  - 2 Chronicles 34:8, 2 Chronicles 34:14, 2 Chronicles 34:19, 2 Chronicles 34:22.  In 2 Chronicles 34:27 we read of Huldah who tells the king that God says that judgment is coming, but because he (Josiah) had humbled himself before God, wept and torn his robes, that Josiah will not live to see the destruction. Josiah recognizes the Lord's graciousness and he sets forth to bring revival.      ⁃    Revival happens 2 Kings 23:2-3 - God's people pledge themselves to the covenant of God.     ⁃    Revival and reform go beyond Judah - 2 Kings 23:15, 17 Josiah was a bright, brilliant, incredible and godly leader, a man bold in his faith and one who trusted God.  May we learn from his example.

Pastor Andy Cass 'Tis the season of noise—commercials, carols, wrapping paper, and endless hustle. But what if the greatest miracle of Christmas isn't found in the noise… but in the silence? In this Christmas message, Pastor Andy explores the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1, reminding us that sometimes God speaks loudest when we finally stop to listen. Big Idea: Silence is not the absence of sound. Silence is the space where God is invited to speak. TEXT: Luke 1:5–23, Galatians 6:9, Habakkuk 1:2, Mark 4:38–41, 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, Luke 19:40 NOTES: The Problem: We are surrounded by noise—audible and internal—that muffles the most important voices in our lives. The Plan: Turn down the noise and create space to hear God. Practical Steps — How to Set Up Silence: Keep work at work. Shut off the screens. Try one weeknight with no TV or phone. No-phone zone. Leave your device overnight. Pause social media. Open your doors. Invite someone over—build connection. Make a memory. Do something simple and meaningful. Schedule silence. Set a time to be still and listen. Faith Formation Plan: Calm the Storm: Invite Jesus to quiet your chaos (Mark 4:38–41). Sit in Silence: Learn the art of listening—faith and doubt can both lean in. Raise Your Praise: If you stay silent, creation won't (Luke 19:40).

Joy is not the product of circumstances; joy is the overflow of recognizing that God is already at work—even when what He's doing doesn't yet make sense. What do you do when life doesn't look like what you prayed for?

Pastor Boyd Bettis preaches on the Advent of Joy using Luke 2:4-11 and Habakkuk 3:17-19.

In this uplifting message from the third week of our Advent series, Pastor Stephen Han reflects on the theme of joy as Christmas draws near. He reminds us that Advent is a season of preparation—anchored in hope, peace, joy, and love—and explores how biblical joy is deeper than fleeting happiness, rooted instead in God's presence and promises.Through Scripture from Isaiah, Habakkuk, and the Christmas story, Pastor Stephen invites us to see joy as a deliberate choice and a lasting gladness that can be found even in small, unexpected moments. He concludes by pointing us toward worship, reminding us that true joy naturally flows into praise, even in the midst of life's challenges.

Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Habakkuk 1:12-2:4 Habakkuk 1:12-2:4 | A Living Hope and Faith from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. HABAKKUK'S COMPLAINTS AND THE LORD'S ANSWERS HOW DO THE RIGHTEOUS LIVE? WHAT DOES FAITH LOOK LIKE? STRENGTH AND JOY! FIVE IMPLICATIONS The prophets help us to wait with final judgement in view. Faith rejects self-reliance, self-preservation. The Lord calls us to repent and believe. The Lord is your strength. The Lord is your joy. Faith is the unshakable posture of those waiting for the kingdom, for the security and peace of the King, in the meantime. Achtemeier Habakkuk is a book for all faithful people, of whatever era, who find themselves living “in the meantime”—in the time between the revelation of the promises of God and the fulfillment of those promises—in the time between their redemption, when God made his purposes clear, and the final time when that divine purpose will be realized in all the earth. As such, Habakkuk is a book from faith for faith. Romans 1:18 (ESV) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. Romans 3:10 (ESV) None is righteous, no, not one; Romans 4:5 (ESV) And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

Habakkuk 2:6-20 | Pastor Mike Awtry

In Habakkuk 3 the prophecy becomes a confident psalm of trust in the Almighty and a prophecy of Yahweh's future judgments at the time of the setting up of Christ's kingdom. It was through this psalm that the writer J. W. Thirtle was able to unravel the structure of the superscripts and subscripts in the Psalms. The expression, "upon Shigionoth" is an instruction as to the musical director of this psalm. Psalms are prayers and this chapter is a Psalm. The report that the prophet heard was of the "wonders" (Hebrew "pala" miracles) which God did on his triumphal march before His people through the wilderness, in the days of the exodus from Egypt onwards to their inheritance in the Promised Land (see Numbers 10verses29-36; Deuteronomy 32verses1-14; Psalm 68). However, although the Psalm is based on events which had happened it is also prophetic - the future tense is often used. Eloah" (the mighty one, speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ coming in His Father's might) WILL come from the south (Teman) - the arena of operation when El (God the Father) via angelic ministration. And He will precede His people. The events of the Exodus occurred 900 years before the prophet's vision. These future events, under Christ, will soon occur when the Middle East is inundated by the great northern army. God's mighty arm and Almighty power will be unleashed on the oppressor and He, Yahweh, will be known and exalted in the earth (Ezekiel 38 and 39; Joel 3 - particularly verse 17). The measuring for judgment is a common Bible metaphor. The ancient nations, represented by the hills, were brought low (humbled). The rivers - the invading nations in particular - experienced the Almighty's wrath. But, as with Pharaoh's chariots (Exodus 14 and 15) these instruments of war are proven vain and useless when they are overwhelmed by Yahweh's salvation chariots (Psalm 68verses18-21). The sun and the moon will stand still in their place echoing the victory of Joshua over the Canaanites, in the land of their inheritance (Joshua 10). The 'head' (Rosh) of the wicked is to be crushed (v13). The sharp victory arrows shall pierce the hearts of the King's enemies (Psalm 45verses5). The whirlwind of Yahweh will scatter His enemies before Him, like the chaff before the wind (v14). And the enemy is trampled underfoot (Exodus 15). This awesome and majestic power of his Sovereign leaves the prophet trembling. The Psalm of Habakkuk concludes from verses 17-19 with precisely the reverse mood to the mood of despondency at its beginning. The prophet has had his fears answered and calmed by his Almighty Sovereign. And so, he now he patiently awaits the salvation of Yahweh - as one of the LORD's just ones, living by faith. Despite all current appearances, our King is of Zion - meaning "exultation". This is the city of our spiritual birth (Psalms 48; 84; 87). The fig and olive trees (are symbols of Israel) will not flourish. Today our God stills the storms that rage in our minds and will soon do so throughout the entire world (2 Samuel 23verses1-4verses Psalm 18; Psalm 46; Isaiah 26verses1-4). Our hope and trust in our Almighty Deliverer is sure and steadfast.

“His ways are everlasting.” — Habakkuk 3:6 What He hath done at one time, He will do yet again. Man's ways are variable, but God's ways are everlasting. There are many reasons for this most comforting truth: among them are the following — the Lord's ways are the result of wise deliberation; He ordereth all […]

“What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation - a god that can't even talk! What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols, ‘Wake up and save us!' To speechless stone images you say, ‘Rise up and teach us!' Can an idol tell you what to do? They may be overlaid with gold and silver, but they are lifeless inside. But the Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.” - Habakkuk 2:18-20The book of Habakkuk is quite unlike any others in the canon of the prophets. Instead of the book being a message that God has given a prophet to share with a nation, Habakkuk is a conversation between Habakkuk and God. The book is structured: “Habakkuk's first complaint”, “The Lord's Reply.” “Habakkuk's second complaint”, “The Lord's Second Reply”, “Habakkuk's Prayer.” The themes in this book are not unlike the themes from other prophet books, but the way in which they are explored is very different and what this book teaches us about how we can approach God and the vantage point God has provides a deep and rich look into the character of God. To help us navigate the book of Habakkuk is Dr. Ken Turner, Professor of Biblical Studies at Toccoa Falls College and author of an in-progress commentary on Habakkuk for Zondervan. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.
