HABAKKUK 1 | BIBLE STUDY WITH ME

We 're back with a new "Bible Study With Me" series and this time we're going through the book of HABAKKUK! 🥳
Habakkuk is a minor prophet, and this book is unique from the other prophets in that instead of the prophet speaking God's Word to the people, it records Habakkuk's personal dialogue with God. In their exchange, we see Habakkuk wrestle with a question I think most of us have wrestled with at some point if we're being honest: if God is in control, why do evil people prosper? How is it possible that so much evil and injustice exists in the world, and God doesn't seem to be doing anything about it?
In this Bible study, we'll follow Habakkuk's progression from this place of being perplexed, to being at peace with God after wrestling through his honest questions. 💛
I'm so happy you're joining along for this series! Don't forget to leave a comment down below letting me know what stood out to you most from Habakkuk chapter one. 🤗

“Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own." | Habakkuk 1:5-6

I'm SO excited to be doing my first Bible Study With Me series through one of the prophets! Give this video a thumbs up if you're excited for this study, and comment down below what you took away from Habakkuk chapter one! 💛✨

[@sammishak4035]

Thanks.. I enjoyed your Bible

[@cbmorris1965]

I like how Habakkuk was so concerned about the unrighteousness of Judah and he turned those concerns into questions to God. I think we all go through difficult seasons in our lives when we constantly ask God why? When? How long? But Habakkuk ultimately embraces his trust in God which results in praising Him. We all walk similar roads but our destination should always lead to glorifying our Lord. These minor prophets may not be long in words but they pack ALOT of wisdom into short chapters. Thank you Kaci for sharing your wisdom with others. Love your Bible studies. May God continue to bless you. ❤

[@strangerdanger2]

What I took from this is that: If God permitted it to happen he has a reason/ purpose for letting that happen Expect that God will answer in his own time! This was so good thanks Kaci❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rochellemaldonado6669]

I came here because my unbelieving husband asked me basically the same questions that Habakkuk had and I didn't know how to explain it to him. Thank you for breaking this down for me. God lead me here ❤

[@ahl8229]

Amen Praise GOD Rochelle!! Im praying for you💯✝️💛

[@stephanieh1549]

I really enjoyed this video. I have been struggling to get back into reading my Bible and this Bible study was the perfect push. I am really looking forward to the next one!

[@isabellfrosthagen]

Yay, new bible study. These are so helpful for studying the bible.

[@kacinicole]

I'm so SO happy they are helpful - and so happy you are joining along for this one! 😊

[@jennifersimpson5086]

Am very excited about This study

[@925creations]

this is our first time doing the bible study of Habakkuk and i loved the way you interpret the book and all your answers to how we are to give the glory in everything that is going on in this world. thank you Kaci!

[@beckyzaloudek4577]

I began watching your Bible studies several months ago. I absolutely love how you read the chapters and verses first then go over it. You are easy to understand. Thank you for doing this. I have trouble reading due to a vision problem, so it's wonderful for me. Just so you know, I've listened to others, but I found yours to be the very best. God bless you.

[@shawnkim8542]

Truly Jesus Christ is the son of the living God. He is the way, the truth, the life. In Jesus name. Amen

[@bellaaa7876]

Amen, amen, amen.

[@eadenulani6373]

Girl, so good, and so symbolic to the times we are going through now as a nation, WOW!!!

[@nicholewalker8592]

God had a plan for Babylon and habakkuk waited for an answer from God. Great Lesson!

[@kacinicole]

I love that takeaway, thanks for sharing!!

[@dbaileyanorchardistsdaught5041]

This is a wonderful study! I’m so happy that I’m here. I learned that God could fix the chaos, unjust and divisions that are happening but he won’t until it is on Gods timing and plan. I’m standing on the watch tower with Habakkuk. See you in the next chapter!

[@Sunny00777]

Wow! Just love the way you present everything so clearly, all so interesting, am so glad I found you on KZbin! ❤

[@jaycee157]

I like verse 5 of chapter 1. It is food for thought. Many things other are happening in the nations of the world is what The LORD is saying that we are to observe. He wants His people to stop and take stock. 2 Chronicles 7:14 is relevant in this regard.

[@jackiecornwell4238]

I am really enjoying your bible study. What I got out of this is that God has a purpose and a plan and even though we don't understand it we need to trust in God's plan not our own.

[@valrobinson45]

Many thanks for sharing your insights, this was a really good bible study 💯🙌🏾🙌🏾 God is Always on TIME 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@grannylvsjesus]

I came on KZbin to find a Bible study on Habakkuk and I stumbled upon yours. I really enjoyed your way of teaching. Going through a storm in our lives right now. And the scriptures, you highlighted five and six out of chapter 1 really spoke to me. thank you for sharing.

[@jaycee157]

Thank you for studying Habakkuk. Often times the Old Testament is left in the background which is sad be cause its contents clearly lead a to what will take place and is fulfilled in the New Testament.

[@achildofthetrueking15]

Habakkuk 1:13 because of how you explained on it and revealed how its true that we cant compare unrighteous with unrighteous just because one has sinned more than the other, because at the end of the day we all have fallen short and are in need of Gods grace

[@betsyd9155]

I just want to thank you so much for your series. I really enjoy studying the bible with you in the morning. I was not familiar with the book of Habakkuk but as you are explaining it, it really helps to see parallels from this book and what we are experiencing right now in the world. We are actually living through what seems a similar time right now. Recognizing that, makes me realize that maybe it was in God's plan to read this book now, as things are getting so corrupt around the world and there is so much sadness and anger everywhere. What I got from this is: - that God is always in control, even though it may seem like He isn't when we don't see things happening the way we feel they should. -We can trust God, even when things are not going our way. He sees the "bigger picture" and has a purpose for all we experience in life. He will use the good and the bad to shape us into who we should become. -It's OK to come to God when we don't understand something or when we feel frustrated. God doesn't get angry with us when we ask why he does something or when we disagree and can't understand what is going on. It's better to come to God who is the only one who has the power to do something about it and who actually knows the "why's" of what we are asking. (If we do decide to vent with friends, we should make sure that they are Godly or their response can pull us farther away from God)

[@GigiK56]

Thank you for explaining this chapter.. for so long; I thought that verse 5 meant God was about to answer our prayers beyond our imagination.

[@rochellemaldonado6669]

Me too!

[@melissaprice8043]

Yes a minor book but packs a punch of information! Thanks for sharing 💛 I really appreciate vs 3 because some people say it’s wrong to question God, however, Habakkuk wasn’t questioning with bad motives, he humbly wanted to know why God was allowing these things to happen. If we ask God with a humble and respectful manner and research the answer in his Word, he will reveal why. The question of why God allows suffering is one of the biggest questions I find that people want to know. The website jw.org has given me a clear understanding of why. If you search in the search box “why God allows suffering,”there’s a great short video on it! Thanks again for encouraging bible discussions such as these!

[@kacinicole]

Yes - I do think there are sometimes He still won't reveal why (thinking of the book of Job). But the powerful thing to learn from Habakkuk is the correct heart posture in asking: trusting God no matter how long it may take to get the answer, and whether or not we get it at all. Trusting Him when we don't understand. 💛 I'm so glad you're joining along for this study! 😊

[@melissaprice8043]

@@kacinicole Yes I agree Job did not understand nor was it revealed to him why God allowed these things to happen, however, we do know now because we have the complete Bible. We can learn so much now that we have the complete bible, why sometimes God allows things to happen. From my own personal research, Gods sovereignty is on the line. Satan challenged Gods sovereignty or right to rule when in the garden of Eden Satan lied and told Eve that God was a liar and that they would not die if they ate from the fruit but would rather be like him knowing good and bad. He was in a sense saying that they did not need to be under Gods rule, they could choose to rule themselves and be like God if they ate from that fruit. Also when we look at the study of Job, Satan stated that humans only worship him because of what they get out of it that is thus why God allowed Job to be tested to prove Satan a liar and show that humans want to be faithful because they love him not only in good times. Also Proverbs 27:11 tells us That we should be wise and make Gods heart rejoice so he can make a reply to him that taunts him which as we know is Satan. Satan is still taunting God with the same insult as he did with Job- humans are only faithful when things are good for them but in tough times they will stop serving you. This is why God has allowed time to pass to prove Satan a liar and to uphold his right to rule as sovereign, that being the only and best rulership to rule over mankind as our creator. Sorry for the the LONG message, I did much research on this and thought I’d share ☺️

[@erikc.poyaoan9950]

God led me to this video. Thank you for the wonderful explanation.

[@glendabryan3976]

This is amazing! An answer to prayer which started with Habakkuk 2:2

[@whit9676]

Amazing thank you , wonderful Bible studies by favorite verse was Habakkuk 1:5, it was Gods response to Habakkuk, he reminded us that his ways is not our ways , that sometimes as his people we might have to struggle to trust his integrity despite all the evidence to the contrary ☺️

[@alexiswirz8029]

My church is about to start this for our woman’s Bible study, and it’s at such a perfect timing. October 2023… looks a lot like this time period ❤

[@ahl8229]

Loved this so much!!!!!! Praise GOD for these anointed Bible studies❤️‍🔥✝️🥰

[@MH-hl3jm]

Excellent job. Thank you for following scripture. I’ve listened to others who have done what is described as a Bible study only to find its a story of their life. I’ve subscribed and look forward to chapter 2.

[@kreepingmold437]

The reference to Isaiah 64:6 was a great dose of the word, I indeed feel right as rain.🍃

[@miguelcorrea4801]

I recently found your channel and I love your bible study series,{I have seen them all more than once}the way you break it down lets me get more of an understanding of whats going on,I'm SO looking forward to more bible study content from you

[@annalev1630]

Gives me a lot of motivation to study the Bible! Thank you soooo much❤

[@tiffanyduck3534]

Love these bible studies. They are helping me stay on track and study the bible. Thank you!

[@heatherpape7051]

I’m glad you’re doing Habakkuk because I really didn’t know much about this book before! The minor prophets get so little attention, but the themes in this book you’ve already presented are super relevant to the times and to those who have struggled to come to Jesus because they haven’t been able to get past that question of: “How could God allow such evil to happen in this world?” I’m excited to follow along!

[@delorislee5290]

This scripture spoke to me. I plan to apply it as I wait and watch. Thank you for this study.🙏🏽 I will take my stand at my watch-post and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaints. Habakkuk: 2:1

[@1PlainOne]

You hardly take a breath but you're good at. Now, more importantly, I am grateful for this bible study on trusting God. This book is like the perfect hunting ground to train your heart to prepare its net to be uploaded with God's eternal goodness through trusting that His plans are ever perfect for LIFE and GODLINESS. THANK YOU KACI

Thank you Kaci. I LOVE the book of Habakkuk and minor prophets. I am really excited too! 1:2 is my favorite in this chapter. Your room is sooo pretty.🍀🌷🍀

[@kandicelrdircks4507]

I am just so ecstatic reading this chapter because 1. I feel God brought me to this video because I was struggling like Habakkuk, and 2. because it is just so incredible. God's power is so beyond my understanding and I am but dust in compare yet he loves and saves me. This book i feel is so important yet not as well known so I am definitely going to be sharing it!

[@lorraineciarletta4690]

Hello! I’m new to Bible study and your channel. I have a hard time understanding that God allows or disallows, as he gave us free will, and with the knowledge that some people may not chose him. I believe everyone in this channel chooses him, including me… but then I need to understand if God does intervene, and then I may have more questions. Sorry 😞. Also, I enjoyed the video and the way you approached the scriptures, and I LOVE The Bible Project!

Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. Proverbs 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Exodus 16:34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. Daniel 3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I"ve never heard that marriage isn't to make us happy , not sure I agree with that as why would you fall in love with your future spouse. Falling in love is one of the most amazing feelings in the world as I I'm sure you should definitely know by now. In John ch10:10, it says the devil comes to steal kill and destroy, but I came so that you would have life, to the full until it overflows. We are to enjoy our lives and the only way to truly enjoy our lives is following God's way of living.

[@markwurzer4313]

First I just want to say I've been enjoying your channel. With that said, if I understand this corretly, God is involved with everything that happens in the world? Even when satan is involved? I get we have free will, but God knows what our choice is going to be, right? So His plan, that we can't understand, involves good things and bad things and we are just to trust that the final outcome, no matter how far down the road, will always be for good? Is that right?

[@rachelfaith9169]

13:36 God said I am raising up the Chaldeans: When the Babylonians (the Chaldeans) eventually came against Judah, they came as sent by the LORD. It wasn’t that they themselves did not want to come, but God allowed their sinful desire to conquer Judah to come to fruition. >>> If God had not allowed them to do it, they never could have conquered Judah AND exiled God’s people OUT OF the Promised Land.
