Lesson 9: The Gospel to the Prophets, Part 1 (Habakkuk 2:2-5)
Related MediaWhat do you do when God seems to be slow in bringing justice? Will we have to be patient forever? It often feels that way, but a personal question often needs asking when we get caught up in how long it will take for God to punish the wicked. That bigger and more personal question is, “Since I’m a sinner, what about me; can I escape God’s judgment?” Habakkuk answers this very important question. He reports the Word of the LORD in stating, “the righteous shall live by his faith.” Pastor Daniel considers this text and helps to cut through some of the external questions we might ask by observing, “The problem isn’t so much what God is going to do with the other wicked people but what He is going to do with me and my wickedness.”
