From Worry to Worship

​
Conversations with God
Background
Lives in the Southern Kingdom
Just before exile
Typically the prophets structure begins with, “Thus says the Lord:”
Doesn’t accuse Israel
Addresses God with his struggle (Lament form)
Back and forth conversation with God
Habakkuk’s Complaint
Israel is corrupt!
Ignoring the Torah
Violence and Injustice
Corrupt Leadership
God’s Response
I see it, I’m on it
Chaldeans are going to be my instruments
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
WHHHAAAT?!?!
They’re even worse
Deify their power
Treat humans like animals
Devour Nations
How can a good God do this?
Takeaways
Conversations are a two way street.
Prayer
Scripture Reading
Silence
Be honest, God can take it
God is at work in the mess
Before the complaint/request is made aware to us, God is already there
God is faithful, even when He doesn’t answer or respond like we want Him to, or think He should.
God is sovereign. He is in control. God is just. God is good.
Prayer requires action
Pray
Then Act
Habakkuk is actively waiting upon the Lord. Seeking Him in the mean time.
