We just finished a series on contentment. But there is one way the Bible calls us to a godly discontentment that drives us to seek to grab hold of Christ, because he has grabbed hold of us.
The secret to being content isn't found in our circumstances, or even in ourselves. As we finish our study of this book, learn with Habakkuk that true, lasting happiness comes only when we look to the sovereign Lord.
Everyone keeps saying Jesus is risen, but what does that matter to us? John chapter 20 gives us 3 encounters with the risen Jesus, and calls us into relationship with God through faith in the resurrected savior.
The reality of God is a truth that should lead us to respond with awe and wonder. God is real and he can be scary, but the good news is that he alone is salvation for those who believe!
When life is uncertain, one of the most important questions you can ask is whether or not you are right with God. Paul quotes Habakkuk to show us that faith in Jesus is the one and only way to answer yes to that question.
When unexpected circumstances hit, Gods' Word calls us to look to God himself. When we remember what God has done and anticipate what he will do, we are led to worship God our God of mercy - even in the most troubling of times.
When it comes to worship, have you fallen into the foolishness of making and worshiping idols? Find out why every false God will ultimate fail, and why the Lord alone is worthy of our worship.
It's easy to think about life in a self-focused way. We don't mean to be selfish or self-centered but we fall into the trap of looking at things and people for what they can do for us. In this passage Habakkuk reminds us that everything in this world ultimately belongs to God and we will be held accountable for whether or not we lived for him and his glory.
As human beings, it's in our nature to build our lives. The question is whether we are building our lives on faith in God and trust in his Word, or on something else that will not last.
