How Long Lord-Pt. 3
from Wrath on SermonAudio Hosted by Eric Dammann
This sermon concludes a study of the book of Habakkuk by focusing on the prophet's final prayer, which centers on the themes of remembering God's past faithfulness and rejoicing in His character despite impending judgment. The preacher explains that Habakkuk looks back to God's actions in the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan to find perspective, acknowledging that God is just in bringing the Babylonians against Judah for their sin. Despite the physical and emotional turmoil of facing inevitable destruction, Habakkuk chooses to trust in God's sovereignty, declaring that he will rejoice in the Lord even if the agricultural harvest fails. The message emphasizes that while the world is under God's wrath, He has remembered mercy through Jesus Christ, who bears that wrath so that believers may receive salvation. The sermon concludes with a call to choose mercy over justice, urging the audience to trust in God's ultimate plan and find joy in their salvation rather than despairing over present circumstances.
