Habakkuk
3 EPISODES
How do we make sense of all the messiness in the world we live in? We see good fortune turn to bad, the vulnerable taken advantage of, injustice befall the innocent while the guilty escape justice. How can a good and just God sit idly by and tolerate this?
This is what the prophet Habakkuk wrestles with in his dialogue with God. As Habakkuk contemplates his crumbling circumstances, he cries out to God for answers. How does God reply? “The righteous shall live by his faith.”
And so, Habakkuk is led to trust that God will be faithful to the covenant he made with his people. And in time, God makes good on his promise in the gospel of Jesus Christ which brings salvation to everyone who believes and lives by faith.
Thus we too, as we live by faith in this broken and messed up world, can sing along with Habakkuk these words of hope:
“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.”
