20070220 Bible Study for the Day- Habakkuk 3:16-19

Context for Habakkuk 3:16-19

Having cried out to God and received God’s answer, Habakkuk is strengthened to face the events of His day, knowing that God has not abandoned him.

Habakkuk 3:16-19

Things will get worse. If there is any bad promise in the Bible, it is the promise that things will get worse. Mankind’s sin and depravity will grow. Mankind’s certainty that his destiny lies away from God and His Word will be surer than ever. Worse yet, mankind will turn on those who remain faithful to their God, seeking to wrest away their faith as proof of man’s ascendancy.

Yet, God promises us that, if we remain faithful to Him, He will strengthen us to endure those times until we reach the time when we are relieved, be that through a change in the world back toward God or because we have reached our destination of Heaven.
