Although and Yet
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Can we still trust the Lord if things do not go as planned? Yes, for it is in those moments that our faith is at its strongest. Faith does not hinge upon circumstances.

Fear and Faith
Habakkuk 3:16
Sometimes, God connects things that we would never have. In today’s passage, God links fear and faith. How could these two possibly work in tandem?

Turning Prayer into Praise
Habakkuk 3:3-15
Sometimes, you can praise your way through things that you cannot pray through. Praise is the highest expression of faith in God because it concentrates on Who God is and what He has done.

God Came
Habakkuk 3:3
It is always good when the Lord shows up! Wherever His presence is manifest, His provision is available. The greatest place to be is where God is welcome.

The Intention of Prayer
Habakkuk 3:2-3
What is the great aim of prayer? It is not to get something from God; instead, it is to get to God. Instead of praying to get something from His hand, we should pray to draw nearer to Him

The Petition of Prayer
Habakkuk 3:2

The Desperation of Prayer
Habakkuk 3:1-2
The situation is desperate, but God's people are not. No doubt, the times call for revival, yet we are unwilling to pay the price for it. God delights in answering desperate prayers.

The Meditation of Prayer
Habakkuk 3:1-2
When we think of prayer, we usually think of our words. We even convince ourselves that using certain words in a certain way better persuades God. However, the most effective prayers begin in God's Word.

A Prayer
Habakkuk 2:20-3:1
One indicator of a Christian's spiritual state is their prayer life, revealing their true priorities. Every significant movement of God can be traced back to a person in prayer.

Woe: Idolatry
Habakkuk 2:18-20
An idol is anything that takes the place only the Lord is worthy of. There is only one God! Today, we reach the culmination of Habakkuk's "woes."

Woe: Strong Drink
Habakkuk 2:15-17
What does God's Word say about alcohol? Drinking leads to drunkenness. You should not be under the control of anything but that which leads to holiness.

Woe: Violence
Habakkuk 2:12-14
The spike in violence all around the world is astounding. Violence is a mark of Satan's work. How should Christians approach something so inexcusable?

Woe: Greed
Habakkuk 2:9-11
Greed within our hearts eventually infiltrates our homes. The negative consequences affect us and others around us. Simply put, to covet is to desire something God does not desire for us.

Woe: Desire
Habakkuk 2:5-8
At some point, we all have wondered if God will ever respond to the wickedness around us. Habakkuk shared a similar concern in his day. We can be sure that God deals with sin wherever, whenever, and in whomever He finds it.

Look What God Says Four Times!
Habakkuk 2:4
When God repeats Himself, it is never because He forgot He said it the first time. He uses repetition so we will not forget what He has said. Notice in today's episode how the just live by their faith.

Faith
Habakkuk 2:4
The Christian life is a faith life from start to finish. There is no substitute for faith, for it is the only thing that accesses divine resources. When we believe in God, He sends revival.

Humility
Habakkuk 2:4
What are the great hindrances to revival? What is it that is blocking our blessing? Perhaps at the top of the list is our pride, preventing us from drawing near to God.

Patience
Habakkuk 2:3
We live in a fast-paced, instant-results society. In Scripture, we discover that God does not work according to our timetable. He commands us to trust that His timing is perfect and to wait patiently upon Him.

Obedience
Habakkuk 2:2
The truth that we have learned must trickle into how we live. As we read God's Word, our aim should be to take the next step of obedience toward the Lord. In other words, the Bible affects our beliefs and behavior.

Attentiveness
Habakkuk 2:2
As we have been studying ingredients for revival, we examine another essential aspect - attentiveness. How much attention are you actually paying to the Bible? Your attentiveness to Scripture clearly indicates your attentiveness to the God of Scripture.

Responsiveness
Habakkuk 2:1-2
It's one thing to desire to hear from God, but it's another thing entirely to have a response ready for Him. The decision to say yes, regardless, should be our foremost decision.

Expectancy
Habakkuk 2:1
Today, God's people are guilty of having low expectations of Him. We pray little prayers and live by shallow faith. Our God is capable of things abundantly above all we could ask or think!

Preparing to Hear From God
Habakkuk 2:1-4
God's word is revelation, and our work is preparation. In other words, we must be ready to receive what God longs to relay to us. The difficulty lies not in getting God to speak but in preparing ourselves to hear.

The Road to Revival
Habakkuk 2:1-2
Many people claim they want revival. How can we receive revival? Would we even recognize it if it came? God desires to send us revival, but He will only send it to those devoted to His Word and prayer.

Someone To Hold On To
Habakkuk 1:12-17
God can use evil people and wicked times to accomplish His holy purpose. In an everchanging and always deceiving world, you can hold onto our everlasting and wholly trustworthy God.

What to Do When you Don’t Know What to Do
Habakkuk 1:12-13
Today's circumstances can leave us confused and frustrated. You may not understand or like what is happening, but you can let everything you see lead you to worship a great God.

The World We See and the Lord We Can’t
Habakkuk 1:2-12
Christians have to live in two worlds simultaneously: the one they can see and the one they cannot. This world is full of violence, strife, and contention because the truth of God's Word has been ignored. How can we live in the world to come?
