Habakkuk 1: Habakkuk Complains

“These are questions that God wants us to ask. These are questions that are hard, but they are necessary, and so I want you to remember that this week, that whenever your heart is wondering and there's doubts that percolate, bring them to God. Ask God. Obviously do it in honor of who he is and respect, but we're allowed to bring the hard questions that we have. We need to be able to sing the blues in church. You need to feel free to come to God and ask Him the hard things that your heart is asking. If you avoid them, if you push it down inside you, there's no way that God can release you and give you an answer. And so this week, I want you to know that God is a God who's listening. God is a God who cares. He sees the injustice, he sees the difficulty you're going through, and he knows the emotions you're feeling. So pour it out to him like the ancient Psalmists, like the ancient prophets. Speak these questions to him, and you'll feel released because your God is big enough to take your questions.”
