Yeah, God, But Why?

What do you do when God answers, and it isn't the answer you wanted? In Week 4 of Dealing with Disappointment, Pastor Eric Marvin finishes Habakkuk 1 (verses 12–17). God has told the prophet His plan, and Habakkuk asks what we all ask: "Yeah, God, but why?" Habakkuk knows who God is, and that is why the answer stings. What he never got to see: decades later, Nebuchadnezzar himself praised the God of heaven (Daniel 4).

Big idea: Maybe God allowed that part of your life to be the way it is because He knows you are capable of carrying that burden, and capable of finishing that race.
