Salvation Through Hardship

The beauty of Habakkuk, is that each one of us can relate to him... lamenting situations where we can feel hard done by… perceptively God seems to be absent or simply unmoved by our plight or plea.

Where is God when life isn’t like I imagined? How can I live in times when dark days might be around for decades? Name it and claim it theologies don’t work, needless to say are unbiblical; but then again hard work and perseverance don’t guarantee a better day necessarily either. Habakkuk shows us in the midst of dark days to go from why to worship, from protest to praise.

Habakkuk 3:1-2 "A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth. 2 O Lord, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O Lord, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. "
