Show Notes

Today’s episode delves into the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk, his book, and the ways his prophecies foreshadow Jesus. It begins by outlining the limited biographical details known about Habakkuk and the turbulent historical context in which he prophesied. The devotional then focuses on the book of Habakkuk's key themes, including the prophet's pointed questioning of God, the promise of “the righteous shall live by faith,” and God's sovereignty over nations.

 

The heart of the devotional explores ten connections between Habakkuk and Jesus. These include their shared experience of emotional turmoil, the emphasis on righteousness by faith, pronouncements of judgment, and visions of God's splendor. Crucially, the devotional links Habakkuk's prayerful intercession with Jesus' role as the ultimate intercessor for humanity.

 

Finally, the devotional highlights how Habakkuk's message offers practical lessons for modern Christians, emphasizing the need for trust, endurance, and focus on God's eternal promises.
