Ever felt like you were wrestling God? Have you ever gone to God with question after question in an attempt to understand the season you were in?
Today, let’s explore the book of Habakkuk together to understand how this man learned to both wrestle and embrace God. He knows what waiting on God feels like, and he wasn’t ashamed to enter into conversation with God about the struggles he was facing.
Carrying confetti can sometimes feel like a ‘wrestle and embrace’ too. It doesn’t erase the struggle, but it does remind us about the truth of God’s character as we grow in intimacy with him.
Holding onto the hope of a promise in an undefined waiting period is what can actually lead us to a stronger faith – a faith that isn’t phased by the storms that swirl around us or the unanswered questions that swirl within us.
So, my prayer is that by the end of this episode, you will be able to say, “Yet I will rejoice!”
