Primary Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2-2:20
Cross References: Romans 1:16-17; James 4:6; Hebrews 10:37-38; Isaiah 44:9-20
Message Overview: This week will need a quick look back to verses 1:12-2:1. There is an opportunity to discuss God’s timing in our “instant” society. Patience and anticipation in knowing God will carry out His plans to completion. There is a solid foil here to the end times also (v.2-3). How often are we (especially Americans) so impressed by our own abilities that we lose sight of God? God is righteous and just and will see His plans carried to completion.
Prompting Questions: In the midst of calamity, death, and destruction, can I find comfort in knowing God will see justice and judgement? What do we do while waiting on the Lord? How often do I trust in my own abilities rather than rely on the Lord? Have you ever been frustrated with God’s timing? Have you ever read something in scripture that you disagreed with? What does Habakkuk 2 teach us about the Gospel?
