  • Read Habakkuk 1:1-4

I loved how the video yesterday pointed out that Habakkuk’s story is a very personal one- his own journey of discovering if he believed that God was good in the face of great injustice and wrong around him. We are in a similar spot today.

I loved Andrew’s message on Sunday, the focus on the need to learn about God’s desire for mercy in our lives. I want to see myself become a person who is more focused on mercy than tasks (not that tasks do not need to be done), a person who sees the people in front of me.

Let’s spend the week with Habakkuk and learn from his complaints and God’s response to him:

  • In what ways do you relate to Habakkuk’s cry to the Lord?
  • This summer, we learned the process of lamenting. How have you seen lament at work in your own life?
  • Inherent in his crying out, is his belief that God is able to change things. What do you believe about God’s ability to bring about change in your world?
