God's Triumphing Temple (Habakkuk 2:5-20)

The world seems to have gone awry at different times in history. We might wonder if the Lord really takes note of this age or if the Lord is just sleeping. Habakkuk wants to know what the Lord is doing. The Lord shocked him by saying that he sending the Babylonians to bring judgment. How can the Lord counteract the problem that is worse than what Habakkuk sees?

Just Do My Will (Habakkuk 1:1-11)

We are wise human beings and we know what is best for the world around us. In our wisdom we think that God just needs to listen to us because he does not see things clearly. We begin our study in Habakkuk with the prophet expressing his frustration with God. His frustration is that God does not deal with this world fairly and Habakkuk is upset with the reality he sees. What do we learn about humanity from our prophet? What do we learn about God? What do we learn about our own faulty perceptions?
