Feisty Faith

The prophet, as well as the people of God, were to expect dark days ahead nationally and yet were called to live by faith. Habakkuk was shaken by the dismal prospects which lay ahead but ended up in a place of deep trust and faith by the end of the book. What happened that moved him from fear to faith? What helps develop a feisty faith in him (and by extension, us)?

(1) Savoring God's promises
(2) suffering as a way of perfecting our faith
(3) Deeply knowing how God has saved us in Christ.
