Looking Back, Looking Forward
Memories, souvenirs, keepsakes, and memorials all serve the purpose of helping us remember. Ideally, their purpose isn't to have us live in the past, but to look forward to the future with a right perspective. Reminders of God's grace, longsuffering, and wisdom from past experiences help us to have faith for the days to come. As we look forward to the future, we ought to first look into the past to sharpen our view and perspective for difficult days to come. 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.
