“There are times in your spiritual life when there is confusion… God [is] taking you through a way that you temporarily do not understand. And it is only by going through the spiritual confusion that you will come to the understanding of what God wants for you.”

Habakkuk

Embrace God’s Sovereignty

Audio

Habakkuk 1:1-5

 Four things from Habakkuk’s complaint that we need to recognize:

– God is not ____________________________; we are _____________.

– God always _____________, even when He does not __________________.

– God is __________________________for the evil around us.

God is sovereign over both good and evil; everything is under His control.

(sovereign means having supreme power and authority)

God is responsible for everything good.

God is not responsible for anything evil.

– God is ___________________________,

even when______________________________________ .

Question:

 

Habakkuk means ________________.

Habakkuk 3:17-19  

“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines… yet I will rejoice in the  Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.  God, the Lord, is my strength…”

Be willing to ______________________________________…

and learn to ____________________________________.
