Please read Habakkuk 1.

Meditate on verse 2.
How long, O LORD, will I call for help,
and You will not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
yet You do not save.
Have you
felt like Habakkuk and cried out to God, “Why don’t You hear me?”
God answered
Habakkuk’s question with, “Because I am doing something in your days. You would
not believe if you were told” (Habakkuk 1:5).
Are you
waiting for God to answer your prayers? Waiting can be grueling, yet waiting is
the time God uses to grow your faith. A theme of Habakkuk is: “The righteous
will live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). As a follower of Jesus Christ, it must
be a theme of your life as well (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).
Reread
Habakkuk 1. You will observe that Habakkuk questioned God about many things
like, “Why are You silent when the wicked swallow up those more righteous than
they?”
Ask God your
questions. Tell Him your feelings and frustrations. These conversations with
God will help you live by faith.
Pray
Habakkuk 1:5 and 12 as you wait on the LORD as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, I
believe You are doing something in my days;
if You
were to tell me, I would not believe it.
So
because You are from everlasting,
and You are the LORD, my God, my Holy One,
I
continue to believe _________ and I will
not die.
You have
appointed this situation to judge us,
and You
have established it to correct us.
You are
our Rock, Jesus~”
