More from Habakkuk

"You can't have a Habakkuk Chapter 3 type faith until you've had a Chapter 1 type question and a Chapter 2 type time of waiting." -C. Groeschel

Habakkuk in Chapter 3 exercised his faith by doing three things:
1- Remembering all of God's faithfulness in His life and the lives of his ancestors. (3:2) He called on God to "renew, revive, restore" God's goodness to his people in this time and this day.

2- Excepting what God had said even though it wasn't what he wanted to hear. (3:16) Even though it made his heart beat, his lips quiver, his legs tremble and felt like decay in his bones.

3- Rejoicing in the Lord, being joyful in His Savior. (3:17-19) Even though... I will rejoice. Even though _________________________________, I will rejoice. Fill in the blank with whatever you want but a Chapter 3 type faith with rejoice in the midst of that struggle.
