Week 12 (March 29 - April 4)

Opening Question / Icebreaker:

• What is your favorite fruit and favorite vegetable? Have you ever grown them in a garden? If so, what was that experience like?

Pray Together – ask God to bless your group, your time in His word, and your relationships. 

Read Habakkuk 3:1-20          Focus on Habakkuk 3:16-20. https://www.esv.org/Habakkuk+3/

Observation & Interpretation Questions:

• How would you describe Habakkuk’s response to the song in verses 1-15?  Why is his heart racing (v.16)? 

• What evidence does he have for rejoicing? 

• What is Habakkuk’s commitment at the end of chapter three?  What does that commitment reveal about him and his relationship with God?

• How does the ending of Habakkuk chapter 3, compare with the beginning of the book in chapter one?

• What does Habakkuk mean when he says in v. 19, “he makes me tread on my high places?”  

Application Questions:

• Are there things that feel “barren” in your life as in Habakkuk’s day (v. 17)?   Are you able to rejoice in the Lord anyway? Why or why not?

• What promise does 3:19 have for you and your present situation? For your future?

• Why is God worthy of praise, even when there is a lack of physical provision and as in Habakkuk’s case, when destruction is coming?

• What have been one or two of your takeaways from the study of Habakkuk? 

Close in Prayer:

• Pray together – lift any praises or concerns of the group members up to God in prayer.
