Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Study of Habakkuk: Week 1, Day 2: Habakkuk 1:1-4

by atozmom, posted in WordGo Habakkuk Conversations With God

Summary of Habakkuk 1:1-4

Habakkuk asks God about why He tolerates the injustice he sees towards His people in Judah. He accuses God of not listening.

Questions for Habakkuk 1:1-4

3) Habakkuk asks God why there is evil and violence in the world and yet He does nothing about it.

4) We have very similar questions today. Many wonder why evil is allowed and sometimes without justice in our lifetimes. Many wonder why there is so much bad when God is so good.

5) I learned to wait on God and His answers. I also learned that I usually will see His reasoning for those troubles in hindsight. I must wait patiently for the Lord and pray. That is really all I can do.

Conclusions to WordGo’s Study of Habakkuk 1:1-4

When we want to know when the pain will end, we take comfort in the fact that God is with us always, through the pain, and He’ll be there when the pain ends. There is a purpose in our pain. That we must believe in the moment of the pain.

Evil exists because flawed humans cannot perfectly keep the law. This is where the shining light of Jesus comes in and saves us all!

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Study of Habakkuk: Week 1, Day 1: Habakkuk 1-2

by atozmom, posted in WordGo Habakkuk Conversations With God

Summary of Habakkuk 1

Habakkuk, the prophet, complains to God about how long he must cry for help without an answer when there is wickedness all around him and when His people are perpetrating evil and wrongdoing. God answers by saying He is raising up the Babylonians. Habakkuk complains about how God tolerates evil.

Summary of Habakkuk 2

God replies to Habakkuk’s 2nd complaint, saying a revelation will come in due time, as will their judgment. Woe to those who do evil.

Questions For Habakkuk 1-2

1) That God is in control of everything. That He has a plan, and He will respond according to His plan and not to man’s plan(s).

2) I questioned God in some of our moves. I questioned Him every time my pets had to die for my sins. I questioned Him in my finite understanding. I still seek Him for His purpose for my life and His plans and question them when revealed. Still, I follow. I went in prayer.

Conclusions to Habakkuk 1-2

I love how we can question God and He answers. That is just one of the ways we know our God is real. We see God’s prophet, “one who embraces,” questioning, giving us the courage to bring our questions, doubts, and fears to God, too.

We see Habakkuk ask God why He tolerates evil by His people and evil circumstances for His people. God’s answer: because I am God.

The answers to our questions are found only in God Himself.
