God Will Destroy All Suffering
It can be devastating to look at all the tragedies of life, from cancer, death, divorce, gossip, war, poverty, and everything else, and think that these "enemies" are getting away with their pillaging and destruction. But God is not slow concerning the fact that He will not be mocked, nor will He let those who bring about destruction go unpunished or not dealt with. He is a just Judge, and we have the assurance of His Word and promises that all of His enemies, including the ones in this life that torment us, will be put under His feet in subjection to Him, and finally cast into the Lake of Fire to be brought to shame. ABOUT THIS SERMON SERIES: Habakkuk was a prophet of Judah, and during his time, God's people were living treacherously, committing idolatry, and living out godless lives. Habakkuk complains to God, asking why God simply sits back and watches His own people live this way. And God reveals that He has a plan, but even if God were to reveal His plan, no one would believe it. In this book, we get a picture of God's perfect and sovereign rule over not just His people, but the whole world, and we find great comfort in a sovereign God as we await His Kingdom.
