Today we land the plane on our current mini-series through Habakkuk by examining how we should respond when the will and way of God are difficult to understand. Ever been there? Has God ever given you clear direction, but (at the same time) it’s difficult to understand how it’s all going to work out in the end? In Habakkuk 3, we learn that our difficulty to understand God’s methods and plans should motivate us to prayer and praise, and not with some pie in the sky attitude, but with true faith and focused determination.
