Habakuk 2:2-3

This study will encourage the creation of a Christ-centered personal Mission Statement or Statement of Purpose that can be used as a “North Star” for navigating life. It will discuss having an eternal vision based on God’s purpose and priority.

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).

Let your light so shine before men. Let the light that God has given you, shine before men. Let your gifts, talents, and abilities shine. Let your light shine in the workplace. Let your light shine in business. May you shine in government. May you shine in your community. May you shine in your family. May your light shine upon everything that you set your hands to do. May your light shine as you read this powerful message.

Finding gratitude can feel almost impossible in challenging seasons. This three-day plan, Thankful through the Struggle, invites you to discover God’s presence and provision even in the hardest times. Through the prayers of Habakkuk, you’ll be reminded that gratitude in prayer can forge a pathway to peace.
