Resolute Trust

Habakkuk

The prophet Habakkuk begins with a question reminiscent of King David... How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! However, God is listening and he replies. The answer catches Habakkuk off guard though. What do you do when you cry out to God for an answer and the answer comes back load and clear and not what you were hoping for? What do you do then? If you are Habakkuk, you ask another question, but this time, there is less confidence in your cry of indignation and listening and expecting the answer, you resolve to trust in the Lord's ways... whatever they are... for he knows better then you. You look to the skies and proclaim that you are filled with awe because of his amazing works, and you praise him in good times and bad. I will rejoice and be joyful in the God of my salvation.
