As we enter the Christmas season, we think about advent which is derived from the Latin word for adventus which means “coming”. We celebrate advent in two ways. First, we think of the first coming of Jesus as He fulfilled all the promises of God for a coming Messiah. Second, we think about our own advent as we wait for the second coming of Jesus in which He will fulfill all of God’s promises eternally. We are faced with a world very similar to the people of God that waited for His first coming. As we read the book of Habakkuk, we will hear the prophet ask God questions that might reflect some of our own thinking. We will also read God’s answer and learn about His character from it.
