Today is Tuesday, November 12, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.
It’s easy to look at the world around us and begin to feel a strong sense of hopelessness. Habakkuk likely witnessed the collapse of mostly everything that was important to him. Yet through the loss and disappointment, he was able to distinguish between what was empty and fleeting and what was most precious—the God worthy of his faith, the God who saves by faith. That’s one takeaway for us from the Book of Habakkuk. Are we at a point where we can sincerely say that if everything in our lives fell apart, we would still rejoice because of the hope we have in Christ to save us from our sin and to set all things right at His second coming?
It’s okay to ask God hard questions. It’s okay to admit fears and weaknesses. It’s okay to experience an array of emotions as we face the struggles of life. But by faith, as in the life of Habakkuk, we know that God uses all these things to sanctify us and to shape us into the image of Christ Jesus, who saves us from our sin and will set all things right when He returns.
Think about this: How can faith help ground our emotions during difficulties and change? What blessings can God bring out of hard times?
