Habakkuk 1:7

As destruction unfolds around him, Habakkuk questions God and His plans. God’s response to Habakkuk reminds us that He alone orders the unfolding of history. Those who are righteous will have faith in His plans (Habakkuk 2:3). Despite the darkness of the season, we too can “rejoice in the Lord” and “take joy in the God of our salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18).

How should we handle trials when they come into our lives? Would it be okay for us to tell God how we really feel about our suffering? Faith in God is key to navigating the suffering we experience. This 5-day devotional plan explores 5 lessons from the Book of Habakkuk, and how to increase our faith in God when life is tough.

We will look at eight economic disasters recorded in the Bible which resulted in severe famine. Famine was an ending – the result of disobedience and sin – and a beginning, a potential turning point toward a better, more faithful future. Financial problems form an opportunity for change and a chance for a new beginning. What can we learn from these economic disasters for our own situation today?
