This is the second week in a row. We've been in a series of messages called Cabin Fever and we're going to jump into our time of Bible study now.

So if you have a Bible, turn with me to the Old Testament book of Habak.

And I'm going to give to you a message that I'm calling hold on for dear life

Hold on for dear life from Habak if you don't know how to find Habak let me give you a pro tip go to Matthew which is the first book in the New Testament, and then go to the left five books.

So Habak is the fifth to the last book in the Old Testament, and then you get to Matthew. That's how I find it.

But if you're on... And then you get to Matthew. That's how I find it.

But if you're on a device where you can see us,

which you no doubt are, unless you're listening to this

on Spotify or on the iTunes Podcast,

you can just look at the verses on the screen.

Abakkuk chapter 3 the title of the message is hold on for dear life.

We began last week talking about how Paul in jail wasn't going stir crazy and the origin of that phrase actually have to do with

prison people in solitary confinement can at times become mentally ill and in

England back in the day they said that person got crazy because they were in the stir and the stir was a nickname for prison.

So stir crazy literally is I'm confined and it's getting to me.

And we're all kind of feeling that.

All of us to some degree can feel a little cabin fever now for many

of our states going on six weeks in quarantine it's like I'm turning Jack Nicholson

status up in here up in here a little red realm if you catch my drift, right?

It's like, what do we do with that?

Well, Paul says, hey, the cure is to see your confinement

as being in Christ.
