Today we started a 6 week study in the Book of Habakkuk.
Habakkuk: A Journey of Faith
“Does God Care?”
Habakkuk 1:1–11
We all have questions.
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Does God really care?”
If God is so good, why is there so much suffering?
Habakkuk didn’t hide his questions—he brought them straight to the Lord.
He carried a burden… and he took it to God.
There are two parts we see here:
1) Habakkuk had a question
2) God had an answer
The Complaint:
There are times we feel like God doesn’t care.
We pray, and the answer doesn’t come as quickly as we hoped.
We ask, “How long, Lord?”
Sometimes it feels like God isn’t hearing us at all.
We try to do what’s right, yet it seems like wrong is winning.
We look around and wonder, “Does He not see?”
The Answer (vs. 5–11):
God cares—and He hears every cry.
He knows it all, even when we don’t understand.
God is working in the background, even when we can’t see it.
He calls us to look, to watch, and to trust.
God has a plan.
And if we could see the full picture, we might not even believe it.
His timing is not our timing—but He will deliver.
God does not ignore wrongdoing—He will deal with it.
Judgment is real, and it is coming.
But in His love, God gives us the opportunity to repent.
He sees everything, yet still offers grace.
The world today isn’t so different from back then—
but God is still the same.
Come to God. Trust Him.
Choose to see the good of God, even before you see the bad.
He sees you.
He hears you.
He cares.
It’s not up to us to fix everything or judge everything—
God will take care of that.
Take your struggles to Him.
Ask God—He will answer.
An Invitation:
If you’ve been questioning, doubting, or searching—bring it to God today.
And if you’ve never given your life to Him, don’t wait.
He sees you, He hears you, and He truly cares for you. Come to Him today.
