Habakkuk’s Complaint
Habakkuk 1:2 (ESV)
O LORD, how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?

We sometimes feel like this ourselves.
Habakkuk cries out to the Lord about the evil
he sees in Judah and ask why God lets it persist.

The LORD’S Answer
Habakkuk 1:5-6 (ESV)
“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
who march through the breadth of the earth,
to seize dwellings not their own.

Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
Habakkuk 1:13 (ESV)
You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
why do you idly look at traitors
and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?

Habakkuk did not like God's answer.
He did not understand why God would let Chaldeans
who were even more wicked than Judah to be the
ones to pour out his punishment on Judah.

Habakkuk 2:1 (ESV)
I will take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

Habakkuk said that he would wait on the Lord take his
place at the watch post and he took his stationed on the
tower and wait on the Lord to answer him.

The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith  
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (ESV)
And the LORD answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.

If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.

God tells Habakkuk what God says will happen and to
write it down on a stone. it will happen in God's timing.

Habakkuk’s Prayer
Habakkuk 3:2 (ESV)
O LORD, I have heard the report of you,
and your work, O LORD, do I fear.
In the midst of the years revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
in wrath remember mercy.

Habakkuk hears how bad and ruthless the Chaldeans are
and ask God to show some mercy on Judah.

Habakkuk Rejoices in the LORD
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (ESV)
Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
GOD, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.

We need to rejoice in the Lord no matter what the
situation is or how bad it looks for the Lord is our salvation.

 

Do not to go beyond what is written

1 Corinthians 4:6 (ESV)
I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

Why do we do this?
We should use the Bible to interpret the Bible, or we can say we use the Word of God to interpret the Word of God. So, when we have something written in the Bible that is as clear as day, why do we try to ignore it and bring in other things that are not as clear to make what was clear no longer clear?

It looks like we think God and His Word revolve around us. So, we try to make the Word of God fit what we want it to say. But that's not how it works—we should revolve around God and His Word.

We do this a lot with some of Paul's teachings. We read what he says, but we either ignore it or try to come up with other reasons to claim that Paul was not actually saying what he said. I even had a pastor tell me that John got it wrong or misspoke in part of his writings. How can you do that and still say that the bible is the inspired word of God?

 

Becoming Radicalized for Christ
Disturbing Our City

Acts 16:19-20 (ESV)
But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers. And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.

Can this be said about us? What have we done to disturbing our city for God?

Luke 14:27 (ESV)
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

Luke 21:17 (ESV) You will be hated by all for my name’s sake.

But even then, if we are put away. Give praise to God. You never know who will be watching or listening to you and what effect it can have. Even from the darkest most inner part of prison.

The Philippian Jailer Converted
Acts 16:23-26 (ESV)
And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely. Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened.

What have we done or what will we allow God to do through us to disturb our city for Him?

Just a funny note: After having inflicted many blows upon them and throwing them into prison.
jailer to keep them safely.
