Follow Habakkuk's Example

My beloved brothers, and sisters in Christ, All that I write, I pray first to God to guide my words. He is the sole source of my writing. All the credit goes to God, not to me. I am only his humble servant. When circumstances are going bad, it is easy to be pessimistic about everything in your life. When this happens, take a verse out of the Book of Habakkuk "Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be joyful in God my Savior," Habakkuk 3:18 (NIV). He had a lot of woes. He prophesied in a period of violence and political chaos. Judah had turned away from God and been in moral and spiritual decay that included the worship of other gods. He never gave up hope and neither should you.
