January 12 – From Worry to Worship – Part 1

Join us for Morning Worship and a study of the book of Habakkuk. The message focuses on Habakkuk 1:1-4 and includes the following:
— In the dark days of Jehoiakim’s reign just before the Babylonian Captivity (approximately BC 600), the Prophet Habakkuk penned an unusual message of hope and encouragement for God’s people. Though doubts and confusion reign when sin runs rampant, an encounter with God can turn those doubts into devotion and all confusion into confidence.
— Habakkuk begins with an interrogation of God but ends as an intercession to God. Worry is transformed into worship. Fear turns to faith. Terror becomes trust. Hang-ups are resolved with hope. Anguish melts into adoration.
— What begins with a question mark ends in an exclamation point. The answer to Habakkuk’s “Why?” is “Who?”. His confusion, “Why all the conflict?” is resolved with his comprehension of who is in control: God!
— As a contemporary of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Zephaniah, Habakkuk prophesied to Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel, in desperate days.
— Is there a situation in your life with which you need to trust God? Ask God now to take you from “worry to worship.”
