Habakkuk Week 1/ Oct 8 Safety Harbor Community Church Sermon Podcast

We are being inundated with stories of people walking away from their faith because they cannot reconcile what they believe with what they are experiencing. So many of the complaints made in this chapter could just come out of the news this week. God how do you keep allowing the same evil people to get ahead? God how can you allow people who claim to know love and follow you to mistreat each other and mistreat others without you interfering? God how long am I going to have to wait for you to show up and act like I expect you to?

When we find ourselves in this situation, we shouldn’t turn away from God in frustration and anger. God can handle our questions, and he even invites us to wrestle with Him; but we must always realize that He is God’ and we’re not. Notice that God did not shut Habakkuk out or shun him for being frustrated. God is big enough for our questions and our objections; he invites us to bring them to him in dialogue and to trust him with them.
