Trusting Gods Goodness (Habakkuk)Initial Words {255}
HABAKKUK WITNESSED INJUSTICE,violence, and evil. Even worse, God
appeared to be silent amid it all,though He did ask Habakkuk to trust
in His promises.
The prophet did not live to see thefulfillment of those promises; yet he
learned to trust in them anyway.

Trusting Gods Goodness (Habakkuk)1. Habakkuks First Problem
Habakkuk 1:2, 3 NKJVO LORD, HOW long shall I cry, andYou will not hear? Even cry up to
You, Violence! and You will notsave. Why do You show me iniquity,
and cause me to see trouble?For plundering and violence arebefore me; there is strife, and
contentions arise.

1. Habakkuks First ProblemPerplexed Prophet{256}
HABAKKUK IS UNIQUE amongprophets because he does not speakfor God to the people but rather he
speaks to God about the people.
The prophet begins his struggle to
understand Gods purposes with acry of bewilderment:O Lord, how long?

1. Habakkuks First ProblemPerplexed Prophet{256}
Habakkuk knows well how muchGod loves justice and hates
oppression; so, he wants to knowwhy God allows injustice to
continue.
All around he notices violence andlaw-breaking, and it seems that thewicked triumph over the righteous.

Trusting Gods Goodness (Habakkuk)2. Habakkuks Second Problem
Habakkuk 2:2, 3 NKJV
WRITE THE VISION. For the vision
is yet for an appointed time.Though it tarries, wait for it; becauseit will surely come.
Behold the proud, his soul is notupright in him; but the just shall live
by faith.

2. Habakkuks Second ProblemLiving by Faith {257}
GODS ANSWER POSES an even morevexing question: can a righteous Goduse the wicked to punish those who
are more righteous than they?Habakkuks question in verse 17 has
to do with divine justice. He waspuzzled by the certainty that hiscountry would be judged by another
nation, one worse than his own.

2. Habakkuks Second ProblemFor the Earth Shall Be Filled {258}
Gods answer mocks the proudoppressor. Five woes affirm themessage that Babylons doom is
sealed. The punishment on theenemy will be in accordance with the
measure for measure principle.
They will reap what they sow,because God cannot be mocked by
proud human beings.

Second Coming.
