“Yet I Will Rejoice” – Habakkuk 3:1-19
Habakkuk 1:2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Habakkuk 1:3a Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance?
I. We Must To What God Is Doing.
Habakkuk 3:2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive they word in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make known; In wrath remember mercy.
II. We Must What He Has Done.
Habakkuk 3:3 God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.
Habakkuk 3:4 And his brightness was as the light; He had horns coming out of his hand: And there was the hiding of his power.
Habakkuk 3:5 Before him went the pestilence, And burning coals went forth at his feet.
Habakkuk 3:9-11 Thy bow was made quite naked, According to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: The overflowing of the water passed by: The deep uttered his voice, And lifted up his hands on high. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: At the light of thine arrows they went, And at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
III. We Must He Is Not Done.
Habakkuk 3:16 When I heard, my belly trembled; My lips quivered at the voice: Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, That I might rest in the day of trouble: When he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
Habakkuk 3:17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls.
Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Psalm 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: But they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
