Habbakuk: A Burden, A Vision, and A Prayer

Habbakuk was a prophet in Babylon from 612-606 B.C. 

1. His Burden

• How can God seem to be so indifferent to our problems?
  • Habbakuk 1:1-4
• How can God use such a wicked nation?
  • Habbakuk 1:12-17
• God responds
  • Habbakuk 1:5-11

2.  His Vision

• God: The just live by faith
• God: The proud/wicked will be judged.
  • Habbakuk 2:2-20

3.  His Prayer

• Request for God's action and mercy
• Praise for past deliverance
• Renewed expression of faith regardless of God's response to requests.
  • Habbakuk 3:1-19

4. Application

• Our faith shoud be a shallow faith dependant on God giving us what we want.
• Our "control" on our life is imagined.  Our life relies heavily on things over which we have no control.
• When things go well, we must thank God and praise God.
• When thigns go badly, we must thank God and praise God.
