Look at the nations , and observe — be utterly astounded! For I am doing something in your days that you will not believe when you hear about it. Look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter, impetuous nation that marches across the earth’s open spaces to seize territories not its own. They are fierce and terrifying; their views of justice and sovereignty stem from themselves. Their horses are swifter than leopards and more fierce than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from distant lands. They fly like eagles, swooping to devour. All of them come to do violence; their faces are set in determination. They gather prisoners like sand. They mock kings, and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortress and build siege ramps to capture it. Then they sweep by like the wind and pass through. They are guilty; their strength is their god.

3 Days
As destruction unfolds around him, Habakkuk questions God and His plans. God’s response to Habakkuk reminds us that He alone orders the unfolding of history. Those who are righteous will have faith in His plans (Habakkuk 2:3). Despite the darkness of the season, we too can “rejoice in the Lord” and “take joy in the God of our salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18).
Finding gratitude can feel almost impossible in challenging seasons. This three-day plan, Thankful through the Struggle, invites you to discover God’s presence and provision even in the hardest times. Through the prayers of Habakkuk, you’ll be reminded that gratitude in prayer can forge a pathway to peace.

As a reporter for my college newspaper, I tried out for the #1 football team in the country for a story. When I found my name on the roster, I was shocked, thinking it was a mistake. I realize now it was part of God’s plan. God has a purpose for you too. I pray this reminds you that as we walk in faith, God is always a step ahead.
Inspired by the life and faith of the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk, Thann Bennett's study poses the question - what would happen if we lived for God's fame instead of our own? What if there is a radically different—and far better—approach to achieving success in life? You will walk away encouraged and equipped to live for the purpose of His fame.
