PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,he enables me to tread on the heights.

Chapters one and two reveal Habakkuk’s struggle; and chapter three gives his song

COMPLAINT

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 1:3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

ANSWER

Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Habakkuk 1:6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.

WHAT??

Habakkuk 1:12-13 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? ... Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

I'LL JUST WAIT

Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Habakkuk 2:12-13 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshedand establishes a town by injustice! Has not the Lord Almighty determinedthat the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?

Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Habakkuk 2:20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Habakkuk 3:4 His splendor was like the sunrise;rays flashed from his hand,where his power was hidden.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines,though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Habakkuk 3:19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,he enables me to tread on the heights.
