Passage: Habakkuk 3:16-19

Questions for God
Habakkuk 3:16–19

What do you do when life makes no sense—and God seems silent?
In this message from Habakkuk, we explore what it means to bring our honest, raw, and unfiltered questions to God. Questions like:

– Why does evil seem to go unpunished?

– Why do the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer?

– Why doesn’t God improve my circumstances?

Habakkuk had those questions. So did Job, David, John the Baptist—even Joseph in prison. If you've ever cried out, “Lord, how long?” then you're in good company.
But Habakkuk didn’t just wrestle with God—he waited on God. And through that waiting, he learned something powerful:
 Even when the fig tree doesn’t blossom, even when the fields are empty and the flock is gone—God is still worthy of praise.

This message reminds us:

• True faith isn’t circumstantial

• Rejoicing is a choice, not a feeling

• God’s aim is to change us, not just our situation

• Worship transforms worry

If you're in a season of questions, this message will give you courage to trust the God who always does what is right, even when you don’t understand what He’s doing.
