What if honestly acknowledging your doubts is the first step to deeper faith? Maybe taking on your secret questions would open the door for you to know God's character. What if getting close to God, developing an intimate relationship with Him, requires you to endure what you feel is unbearable? Do you want to glorify us and listen to testimonies? Here is the full service ???? https://youtube.com/live/39jRZ6CNAxY ???? Verbs ???? Habakkuk 1,1 (RKG) 1 Prophecy seen by the prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk 1,2-8.12-13 (EFO) 2 I cry out to you constantly, Lord, why don't you listen? I cry out to you because of the violence, but you will not deliver us! How long are you waiting? 3 Why do I have to see so much injustice? How can you condone all this evil? Everywhere I see destruction and violence, everywhere I look, strife and litigation! 4 The law is weak, the truth does not prevail. The guilty wins the case, the innocent loses, the judgment favors the wicked! 5 "Look at the nations and see, marvel and be amazed! Because I am doing something in your days that you would not believe if you only heard about it. 6 Look! I will increase the power of the Chaldeans, I will expand their empire. This is a cruel and violent people, they conquer distant lands, occupy other people's places of residence, and subjugate peoples. 7 A terrible and fearful people, who make their own laws, and respect no one. 8 Their horses are swifter than panthers, fiercer than hungry wolves. An army of their riders traverses distant lands, they fly at a gallop, they attack suddenly, just as an eagle pounces on its prey. 12 Eternal! You are the Holy One, you are the God from ancient times and forever! We will not perish after all! You ordered the Chaldeans to execute your judgment. My rock, you wanted them to punish us. 13 Your eyes are clearer than to condone evil and look idly at injustice! So why do you tolerate these evils? Why are you silent when the truer is being destroyed? James 1,2-4 (RKG) 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, 3 knowing that the test of your faith results in steadfastness. 4 Constancy means a perfect work, that you may be perfect and faultless, without any deficiency. ????
