Judges 21:1-25; Isaiah 40:1-31; 1 Corinthians 16:1-24
O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear…Why dost thou shew me iniquity? Habakkuk 1:2-3
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:18
Habakkuk felt greatly burdened by the circumstances the nation of Judah was in and this led him to pray and ask the Lord “how long?” and “why?”. We often pose these same questions when we find ourselves in adversity. The answers might not be immediately forthcoming, but we can, like Habakkuk, rejoice in and enjoy our relationship with the Lord, resting secure in the knowledge that He is working His purposes out. —Philip A. Kaye
Simply trusting every day, trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus, that is all. —Edgar P. Stites
