Questions for Further Reflection 

Themes to focus on

  • Fear
  • Awe
  • Justice
  • Sovereignty
  • Trust 
  • Salvation

Notice that Habakkuk has gone from complaining to praying.
     > What would have to happen in his heart for this to happen?
Habakkuk was overwhelmed by God's Salvation and wrath as well as God's glory.
    > Read through verses 2-16 and record all of the senses (both physical and internal) experienced in habakkuk's encounter and response to God.
           -- What is being communicated by the fact that so many senses are incorporated?
           -- Would you be able to say that your impression of God is adequate compared to                         Habakkuk's reaction?
• Read Verses 17-19 and summarize in your own words.
• Why do you think that Habakkuk concludes that he can and should trust God?
• What does this teach us about God?
• What does this teach us about mankind?
• How does this passage point to Jesus/teach Gospel themes?
