DESCRIPTION of the Lesson
In this lesson on the prophet Habakkuk, we see a man who honestly questioned God about evil, suffering, and injustice. Rather than rebuking Habakkuk, God engaged him in conversation. Habakkuk struggled to understand why God would allow wickedness and why He would use Babylon, an even more evil nation, as part of His judgment. Through this dialogue, Habakkuk learned that God’s plans are larger than human understanding and that the righteous are called to live by faith. The lesson also emphasizes the importance of developing a continual conversational relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, listening, reflection, and trust.
