"God Are You Really Fair?" {Hab1:12-2:4}
* Perspective not same as reality
- Faith lives in this gap between perception and reality
* Hab's 2nd complaint
- Wrong perspective (v12-17)
- Underlying complaint: Your actions don't fit Your nature
- Uses four names for God (YHWH, Elohim, Kadesh, Rock)
- God has ordained difficult circumstances for life of all His children
* Hab's response
- Determination (stand watch)
- Isolation (station on ramparts)
- Expectation (look to see)
- Teachability (and what answer I am to give)
* God's 2nd Answer
- Will certainly happen
- If it seems slow, wait for it
- But righteous will live by faith (v4)
