Introduction to Habakkuk

I will be beginning a study of the book of Habakkuk, a book which will provide a promise of hope during the troubled times in your life.
The minute I mention such a strange name, you’re probably wondering what I’m talking about.  Habakkuk is one of the books of the Bible, nestled in between Nahum and Zephaniah.  It is written by the man of the same name, who is one of the Minor Prophets.  This book of the Bible really brings out God’s goodness in times of trouble, and as the NASB Life Application Study Bible puts it, the purpose is “to show that God is still in control of the world despite the apparent triumph of evil.”  This idea is not just comforting; it’s true. 
This study will take place over a few weeks.  I will try and cover this in addition to the usual style of blogs, but you may end up just seeing these for a while.  I would encourage you to read this book of the Bible, and then reflect on what you’ve read in addition to reading these next few blogs.  Please enjoy, and prayerfully consider what you’ve read.  It may be just what you need in these hard times.
Your Brother in Christ,
Phillip
