The Book of Habakkuk (Grantham Mennonite Brethren Church)

“So we start to get a picture in this book of the sovereignty of God. Somehow, all history is a story of God's purposes. He uses even the evil to work his way, and we see God giving both blessings and crises. So we see God uses prophets for warnings, for also for hopeful adorning, imploring against warring, and forecasting a peace ever lasting. You notice how he's doing this at the entire scope of nations. He's like all of the nations of the earth. He's talking about it at that level. But I think he also does at the scope of our own personal lives. He speaks to us personally as we go about our life knowing God's working everything. I say we have to look at our society. What's going on? We have to call out warnings and cry out for justice as God's people on the macro level.”
