Read Habakkuk 3

Sometimes, you’ve just got to tell God how awesome He is.

And that’s exactly what Habakkuk does at the end of the book that bears his name.

He had argued and wrestled with God long enough. He had asked all his questions.

And now, he does something rather unique. He sings a prayer.

Habakkuk gets a glimpse of God’s greatness and begins to sing a worshipful prayer to God. It’s interesting because Habakkuk began this book with such gloom. It began with Habakkuk crying out, “Everything is going to the dogs.”

But now notice how it’s ending.

He says, “I will be joyful. I will wait, I will be patient, I will be silent, I will pray, I will trust.”

That’s the focus of the God follower in a turbulent time.

Even though life looks terribly difficult and nothing seems to be coming to some kind of resolution, our sovereign God is still on the throne, and we can have hope.
