Honest Faith And Hard Questions
It is interesting that many arguments people bring up to question Christian faith are often brought up as if they are something new. Sometimes people who bring up the issue of suffering or injustice and evil in the world as an argument against God bring it up as if this were something that believers haven't really thought much about. Habakkuk's situation was unique to his time and place in history, but the feeling of being confused about what God is doing and why, that's something very familiar to us all. We all know what it's like to have hard questions in our hearts. So, how does honest faith handle these hard questions?

How Faith Empowers Life
There are some stories that have power to get to our hearts and give us strength for life. The story of Habbakuk is like that. It's the story of a man who was overwhelmed with tough questions and strong emotions but ends up with a deep faith and a heart that's strong, joyful and ready for anything.

2 Sameul 15 - The Politics of Impatience
Absalom leads a consiracy to take over the throne of Israel from David by becoming impatienct with God and his will. His Scheme seems to work as David decides to feel Jerusalem. The Author brings out the teme of impatience with God in this chapter through the following contrasts: 1) a Me-First Strategy vs. a Humble Strategy, 2) Godless Ambition vs. Self Sacrifice, 3) Rebellion vs. Submission, and 4) a Selfish Perspective vs. a Honest Perspective. One will learn that being impatient with God is like catching a knife on the wrong end - it will hurt. Like David Jesus crossed the Brook of Kidron to pray and accept the will of God. Are you more like Absalom or David and Ittai when it comes to your trust in the will of God? Listen and find out.
