Living by Faith Instead of Fear

When we hear of hardship, evil, and disaster in our own nation and around the world, it can be easy to fear. In Habakkuk's day the threat of Babylonian invasion was high and he accused God of sitting back and idly doing nothing. He was afraid and living in fear. What about you? When you see threats coming against the church or culture shifting in a way that is unsettling, what is your response? Fear or faith? What began as an accusation of God being idle finished with an exclamation of joy. Habakkuk's fear was replaced with faith and he could see that God was at work after all.
