• Habakuk had all these questions in his mind, so he poured out his heart to the Lord.
• Then he went right back to his post on the wall.
• He didn't abandon his position because of his lack of understanding.
• He knew the Israelites needed a watchman.
• Too many spiritual leaders have abandoned their posts as watchmen because they don't properly understand.

Habakkuk 1:5 (12/20/18)
December 20, 2018 • Benham Brothers
* Habakuk was discouraged and took his cry to God. * Notice how God responded: * “Look among the nations! Observe!” (NASB) * He was reminding Habakuk not to just look inward, but outward. * Notice what was doing on around him. * God told him to look around and notice what he saw. * Do you know what happens when you do this? * You will see God at work! * When you are down look around! * If you do this with an eye to see the Lord you will certainly find Him!
Habakkuk 2:2 (12/22/21)
December 23, 2021 • Benham Brothers • Habakkuk 2:2
* “Without vision people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). * Three types of vision: * Personal - where you wanna go with your life. * Professional - how you’re going to sustain your life. * Prophetic - seeing what God is doing and how you fit into His plan. * BACKSTORY: * Most prophets represent God to the people. * But they can also represent the people to God. * This was Habakkuk - he brought his bewilderment over the coming Babylonian captivity to God. * Chap 1 - he pours out his complain (vs 1:13). * Vs 2:1 - Then Habakkuk LISTENED! * This is important after you’ve voiced your complaint. * Vs 2:2a - “Record the vision …” - A dream written down is a goal, a goal broken down is a plan. * “When we measure things it aligns are Attention with our INtention.” -Eric Beck * We align our behavior with what we truly desire. * Vs 2:2b - “…make it plain” - The clearer the vision, the fewer the options, the easier the decision (Stanley). * Vs 2:2c - “…that the one who reads it may RUN!” * Habakkuk was to record the vision and give it to a herald who would “run” with it from town to town informing the people of what was coming. * They would repent and get God’s mercy rather than wrath. * How do we apply this? * The Prophetic vision is the foundation for the personal and professional. * Jesus is coming back, so keep the vision of your role in his Millennial kingdom at the front and center of your mind. * Making your vision clear and understandable is key to it becoming a reality. * It’s meant to help you RUN (don’t overcomplicate it). * Tie your vision together with your mission using two key words - “SO THAT.” * EX: I want to be ________________ SO THAT I can _________________ !
