Joel uses the example of Habakkuk crying out to God about the injustice around him, wondering why God seems silent and slow to act. God responds by telling him to wait and trust, revealing that He is working in ways the prophet cannot yet see. In the midst of uncertainty, God declares that "the righteous shall live by faith", calling His people to dwell—to remain, rest, and stay—in a posture of faith rather than react to their circumstances. By the end, Habakkuk chooses to dwell in trusting God’s character, rejoicing in Him even before the answers come.

God isn't interested in deep fakes, but deep faith. How do your beliefs affect your actions, the way you live? You may be the only Bible someone reads, what will they learn about Jesus? How do I ensure my faith isn't a deepfake?

IF YOU’VE BEEN HEALING BUT YOU’VE BEEN HIDING, THIS MAY BE THE TIME THAT GOD IS TASKING YOU TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE STILL HURTING
