Like the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk, many of us have called out “How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?” The world is filled with pain, suffering and evil. If God is good and almighty, why does He allow bad things to happen? How do we reconcile what we believe about God and what is happening in the world around us?

In this message Alistair Begg begins a study in the book of Habakkuk. The author of this prophetic book asked some very hard questions, and we’ll listen in and struggle along with Habakkuk.

Even those who walk with Christ are not immune to trials. An unexpected storm enters our life and we can only wonder “what is God’s purpose for this?” We call out to God but we feel like he is disinterested in us, and like Habakkuk we shout out “how long must I cry out for help O Lord?” But God is faithful, and when we bring our burdens to the Cross we learn God’s purpose and why things can get worse before they get better.

No generation escapes injustice or outbreaks of violence. In every era, victims have cried out to God for mercy, pleading with Him to take action against the wicked. Alistair Begg points to the tough issues raised by an Old Testament prophet with striking similarities to the global tension in our own generation.

Many times, due to our pride, we mistakenly believe we can handle every problem that arises on our own without faith. What does it mean to “trust in the Lord with all your heart”? God teaches us that faith is taught and we need to stand, look, wait and listen. Providing a valuable lesson for us all, Habakkuk turns from his human abilities to God for answers.

Have you ever asked God why there is suffering and injustice in the world? The Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk, did just that. Living some 600 years before the birth of Christ, Habakkuk looked on the evil and disobedience of Israel and asked God two questions: why did God tolerate evil and how long would it continue unpunished? God's answer to Habakkuk shocked the prophet: God would punish His people's sin by using pagan Babylon—a nation more evil than the Israelites—to destroy and take Israel captive. God's unexpected and mighty response moved the prophet to awe. As we face our own ...

In Habakkuk 3, we see the result of his pilgrimmage of faith, from testing through learning to triumph. Faith that can face disaster and still rejoice in God must be based on fact: the fact of God’s past faithfulness in history, and especially the fact of His redeeming work on the Cross. This is true saving faith.
