Habakkuk 3
CONSIDER
When Habakkuk comes before God with his complaint, he is shocked by the answer that God will use the ruthless and impetuous Babylonians to do his will.
As we try to make sense of the evil and suffering in our lives and throughout the world, Habakkuk shows us that there is no easy answer to these questions. However, Habakkuk reminds us of all of the things God has done in the past and invites God to do them again (ch2 v3).
As we wrap up our church wide series entitled Resilient Faith, I hope we will be strengthened by God and one another to continue to press on, knowing God is the one who “enables (us) to tread on the heights”, faithfully pressing on in what He has called us to.

PRAY
Read Habakkuk 3:16-19.
Lord, even when we do not understand your ways and life seems hopeless, we will rejoice because you
enable us to press on. Amen.
