One of the great dangers for anyone who takes evil seriously is that in challenging evil we can begin to think that we are without sin. We can see evil in others much easier than in ourselves. This can result in a self-righteous attitude that denies the power of God in our lives and denies our constant need to seek God's forgiveness.
Read Habakkuk 2:2-20
Discovering the Word
In verse 2 God begins to explain his answer to Habakkuk. What is the challenge of verses 2-3?
Why must one have faith in order to meet the challenge?
What is the connection between faith and righteousness (v. 4)?
Chapter 2 lists five "woes" (vv. 6, 9, 12, 15, 19). For each of the woes, how is the consequence a direct result of the wrong committed?
How is the final woe connected to all the rest?
Applying the Word
Why is it easier for us to see the idolatry of others than to see our own?
What are some of your idols?
Responding in Prayer
Pray that God will help you to face your sins of idolatry and self-righteousness.
