God often works in the most unexpected ways. Nancy DeMas Walgamuth reminds us,

God doesn't do things as we would script them. Again, if we knew how to write the script,

phrase by phrase through the book of Habakkuk. Because in this little book, there are the seeds of

so many powerful biblical themes and New Testament truths. In fact, we're going to

see the seeds of the gospel in the book of Habakkuk. We're going to see evidence of Christ in the Old

Testament as we study the book of Abakic, and we're learning so much about the heart and the ways of God.

We've seen that Habakkuk was a prophet

of God. He's a man who had a burden on his heart as he looked around him and he saw all the

violence and the injustice and the oppression and the strife going on among God's people.

And God's people flaunting his law, breaking laws, and nobody doing anything about it,
