Show Notes

A deer's impressive hooves allow her to sprint across an open field at thirty miles per hour. If threatened, she can leap over a six-foot fence and maneuver through rough, hilly terrain to get to a safe place. Where is our safe place? Every nook and cranny in our world is vulnerable. Tragedies are broadcast on the news every day. When trials and troubles hit close to home and affect us personally, we question what is going on. *Where is God? Why doesn't He do something?* The prophet Habakkuk was a man of questions. He was burdened by what he saw going on with God's people. They were suffering, even as the wicked seemed to go unpunished. He couldn't understand this injustice, so he questioned God: Why? God answered Habakkuk by making it clear that He was moving in a definite way. He has a purpose, and He intends to carry it through. Habakkuk, in his prayer, accepted thatno matter what the circumstancehe would walk by faith and trust God. God has a purpose for your life too. God is just, so He is working everything together for good in His kingdom; He promises one day to bring justice for every wrong done and to free His people and all of creation from sin, suffering, and death when He returns (Romans 8:19-24, 28; 1 Corinthians 4:5). Our place of safety comes when we hold on to our faith in the promise of Jesus Christ, looking to Him for strength. What an encouragement to know we can rejoice in Him and in His salvation, found in Jesus Christ! • Rosemarie Pagano What questions do you have for God? What are some difficult circumstances or obstacles you are facing now? Why would Habakkuk want his feet to be like deer's feet in a difficult time? The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. Habakkuk 3:19 (NLT) Read Verses: Habakkuk 2:4; 3:17-19
