For our upcoming sermon series, "Trusting God in Troubling Times", we will be looking at the book of Habakkuk. Habakkuk is one of the "minor" prophets in the Old Testament but that only means his letter is short, not that what he has to say is insignificant. Habakkuk addresses the issue of theodicy. If God is all powerful and God is all loving, which we confess he is, then why is there evil and suffering in his creation? That is definitely not a "minor" issue and is frequently used by people to reject God. This is the question of Habakkuk: why does it seem "evil" people prosper while "good" people suffer? The question, and its answer, have profound implications for our understanding of the person and work of Jesus. Excited to see what God has planned for our time in Habakkuk. As always, keep first things first and give God the glory!
