Sermon: How Long and Why?

How Long and Why? Habakkuk 1-2 June 27, 2021 Pastor Tony Felich    ----more----  Habakkuk 1:1The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. [2] O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear?   Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? [3] Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. [4] So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.              Habakkuk's conversation with the Lord reveals God’s perfect justice and our need to trust Him no matter what.       The flow of Habakkuk 1:1-2:4      Habakkuk- “Lord, why aren’t you intervening to stop the sin in Judah?       The Lord- “I will stop it…and I will use Bablyon to do so.”       Habakkuk- “Wait. Seriously, Lord? Babylon?”       The Lord- “Trust me”
