God’s second response to Habakkuk is not exactly what he was expecting. Wait. Even when you can’t see how God is working, wait. “It will not delay.” Pastor Mark Kleinheksel speaks about how we are supposed to wait while we are in life’s detours. We are called to wait upon the Lord – an active waiting.

Pastor Mark Kleinheksel dives into Habakkuk’s second complaint to God. God doesn’t work in our timing and in our ways. When you are on a detour do as Habakkuk does – rehearse the truth of who God is to yourself.

God uses many means to get our praise while we use any means to escape our pain. Habakkuk is realizing how God works through the evil of this world. Suffering is a part of the world, that will never change, but Habakkuk is seeing how his mindset needs to change in the midst of suffering.

God alone brings life from death – His will through suffering – addition through negation.

As we journey through the book of Habakkuk this summer, we begin with him as He pleads with God for His justice. There is a lot going on within God’s chosen people that I do not want to see happening in the Church today. We need each other and we need God so that we can be the people God has called us to be.
