Habakkuk: Remembering God's Faithfulness When He Seems Silent

Sep 1, 2020

Are you frustrated with God? Sometimes the world is so broken, it’s hard to believe that a good God could possibly govern the hearts of men. The book of Habakkuk is about learning to believe that God is good and maintains control even when there is so much evil and tragedy in the world around us. Though this book is often overlooked during times of peace and prosperity, it has tended to be studied when believers needed to learn how to talk to God during epic events. We need the lessons of Habakkuk always, but in an urgent and desperate way during difficult seasons. Ironically, this podcast series ended up being recorded just as the world was coming out of quarantine in the middle of 2020 when a worldwide pandemic was rocking the globe. Kind of fitting, don’t you think? Dannah Gresh invites you to learn how to talk to God when you're frustrated. She might even write you a permission slip to wrestle with Him in this series based on the book of Habakkuk.

Have you ever been homesick? Maybe you cried your way through nights when you were away at camp for the first time? Or perhaps you would have done almost anything for a home-cooked meal made by your mom or a hug from your dad when you were in college? It’s possible you’ve ached to hold your babies when you were away from them on a trip. They don’t call it home-SICK for no reason. It’s painful, all-encompassing, and just feels...wrong. Dannah Gresh says “we’re all longing to feel like we’re home” and that the only true remedy for it lies in decoding what she calls “the message in God’s silence." If it seems like God has been silent in your life, you’ll want to hear this heartfelt message as Dannah continues in the series based on the book of Habakkuk. In it, she shares five characteristics of God’s voice so you can begin to better recognize His voice.

Have you ever asked questions like this: Why GOD!? When are you going to DO something? Are you even there!? The prophet Habakkuk asked questions like this on the backdrop of a world that was full of terrible evil.

But Dannah Gresh says there’s a right way and a dangerous way to ask your questions of God. In this message, she’ll show you that we have to decide if we’ll remain a combative wrestler or grow into a clinging embracer.

We want the glorious, miraculous stories of Daniel and his lion’s den...and of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego who came unbound out of the fiery furnace. But, are we willing to endure the lion’s den and the fiery furnace for the gift that you can find within them? Dannah Gresh takes us into both the book of Habakkuk—where the prophet writes about events to come—and to Daniel—where the words Habakkuk wrote prove to be true. And she invites us to be double amazed!
