2007/11/06 – Evening Meeting (Rough Notes)

Habakkuk 1:2-3 – Habakkuk begins to complain to God about the evil in the land.

Hab 1:5-7 – God’s response is to send the ruthless Babylonians to attack the nation.

Hab 1:13-14 – Habakkuk complains that the Babylonians are more evil than the nation.

Hab 2:2-4 – God’s answer is the command to… Record the vision. Wait. Live by Faith.

“Except the unexpected and in the unexpected, expect Christ”

Hab 2:4 – The righteous will live by faith… not just the individual but the community.

Wait. If it is slow to come, Wait.

2 Thes 3:7-12 – Examples of the wrong kind of waiting

Heb 11:1 – Expectant waiting … not passive. It is one filled with hope.

Hab 2:14 – Promise that God’s glory will cover the earth. Habakkuk could wait because he knew who God was.

2 Peter 3:9 – God is not slow.

What has God gotten you excited about right now? Wait for it.
