The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

1. What does it mean that the righteous shall live by faith? Why do you think this phrase is quoted multiple times in the New Testament (Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38)? What does it look like for you to live out this truth in your everyday life?

2. Habakkuk recounts God’s attributes, but complains that he doesn’t understand how God’s actions match His character in this situation. How is this an expression of faith? What does it look like for you to trust in God’s character even when you don’t understand His actions?

3. Habakkuk commits to waiting on the Lord and taking his position as a spiritual watchman, which was the call of the prophet. What has God called you to do? How can you obey this call even when you have doubts and questions?

4. What truths and promises in God’s Word will you cling to in the midst of trials?
