What do we do when God's answer to our prayers isn't what we expected—or even what we wanted? In this episode, we dive into Habakkuk 1:5-11, where God responds to the prophet’s complaint in a shocking way: by raising up the Babylonians, a ruthless and violent nation, as His instrument of judgment.

This passage forces us to wrestle with a profound question: How can a holy God use unholy means? And what does that mean for us when life takes an unexpected turn? We explore God's sovereignty, His unexpected methods, and how we can trust Him even when His ways don’t make sense.

If you've ever questioned God's timing, struggled with unanswered prayers, or wondered why He allows certain things to happen, this episode is for you. Join us as we reflect on how this ancient text speaks to our lives today and challenges us to trust in the God who sees the bigger picture.

📖 "For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told." (Habakkuk 1:5)

🎧 Tune in now and let’s explore this challenging but deeply comforting truth together.

In today’s episode of Reformed Devotionals Daily, we continue our journey through the book of Habakkuk, looking at Habakkuk 1:2–4. This passage captures a deep and raw cry of frustration—Habakkuk sees injustice, violence, and corruption all around him, and yet God seems silent.

"O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear?" This is not a neat, polished prayer—it’s an anguished plea from someone who has been crying out to God repeatedly, yet sees no answer. Habakkuk asks why God seems to just watch wrongdoing unfold without intervening, and he describes a society where justice is paralyzed and the wicked surround the righteous.

This passage invites us to wrestle with one of the hardest questions of faith: What do we do when God seems silent? Maybe you've been praying for something for months or even years, and it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling. Maybe you’re witnessing injustice or suffering, and you’re wondering why God isn’t stepping in. Habakkuk shows us that bringing our honest struggles to God isn’t a lack of faith—it’s an expression of it.

Join us as we explore the significance of this passage, what it teaches us about faith in seasons of silence, and how Habakkuk’s journey leads to a deeper trust in God—even when circumstances don’t change.

In this episode of Reformed Devotionals Daily, we begin a new journey through the book of Habakkuk. Starting with just the first verse—“The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw” (Habakkuk 1:1)—we explore the weight of this revelation, what it means to carry a burden from God, and how the prophet's struggles speak into our lives today.

Habakkuk lived in a time of moral and spiritual collapse, wrestling with God's apparent silence in the face of injustice. His book is a raw and honest dialogue with God—one that resonates deeply in our world today. What do we do when God seems absent amid suffering? How should we bring our burdens before Him? And how does God shift our perspective even when our circumstances don’t change?

Join us as we wrestle with these questions and begin to see how God meets us in our doubts.
