God Spot
This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

Habakkuk

At our BSF study, this book was divided into two:

1) Questions for God - Habakkuk 1 & 2
2) Hope and faith - Habakkuk 3 (help for facing difficulties)

And we had a third part to the study - Obadiah, which tells of Edom's doom (and perhaps more applicable for non-Christians)

Here are some points that Grant made on this study.

As Christians, learn to bring our questions to God and live by faith, trusting God's answers. It's not wrong to ask questions of God. Habakkuk himself has his perspective turned back to God (he starts with the wrong perspective - the book starts with a sob - but God turns his thinking - finishes with a song!).

Habakkuk starts by querying "why do the evil prosper and the good suffer?" This seems the wrong way round - but God says "look - see what is happening" (see from God's perspective).

In our prayer time - spend time of silence, waiting. When God answers, write it down, take note! Record it. Habakkuk 2:

Then the LORD replied:

"Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald may run with it.
For the revelation awaits an appointed time"

This was for you, Caro. There's more, but I've run out of time. Pity you haven't got our Easter weather in NZ - it's about 25 deg, no sign of rain and continuing warm all Easter. Enjoy, and have a blessed time!
