Habakkuk 1:12 | Aren't You From Everlasting

Think about the last time you had to steady yourself before you said something true. You knew what you were about to say, and you knew it would land worse out loud than it sounded in your head. So you took a second first.

This is the opening of Habakkuk's second complaint, and the brutal question is one verse away. He doesn't lead with it. He leads with God's age. Aren't you from everlasting. He's reaching past the invasion, past the news, past everything that changed this year, for the one thing that hasn't moved. Then he says something nobody promised him: we will not die. And in the same breath he's accusing God of appointing all of it, he calls him Rock.

Anchored in Habakkuk 1:12. Part of The Waiting Season, a walk through the three chapters of Habakkuk.
