Holding Onto Hope When Bad Things Happen | Habakkuk - Week 4
Big Idea: Prayer and Praise fuel Hope.
How to pray and praise when the circumstances don’t change:
1- Remember God’s Faithfulness (Habakkuk 3:2-15; Job 42:1-6)
Selah = a musical or liturgical notes that indicates a pause
2- Be Honest (Habakkuk 3:16-19)
3- Trust God’s Whole Story (Habakkuk 3:1-19; Genesis 3:15; Revelation 22:12-13)
Habakkuk reminds us that to be saved doesn’t mean we’re rescued out of the brokenness of the world. Rather, we’re rescued from the hopelessness of that brokenness.
Next Step: Practice honest prayer and praise:
Are you in a Habakkuk 1:2 moment? Get on your knees.
Are you in a Habakkuk 2:1 moment? Open your hands and lift your eyes.
Are you in a Habakkuk 3:17-18 moment? Stand and raise your hands.
