frHE. J S||||ssS| Uniterm Sunday Sc hod Loaons Backfr.and Serlater.i Babakkuk. Dev.U.nal Kradlng: Habakkuk 3:34. IT-li. God In Dark Days Lesson for July 19, 1955 SOMETIMES we envy the serene faith of the prophets of bld. If so, it shows we have not read the prophets carefully, for some of them had a faith that was anything but serene. Jeremiah was one of those, Habakkuk was another. Ha-

i If wi :|. fl 1 i fl I ■ > Dr. Foreman

bakkuk lived during the dark days kt the end of the lime of the little kingdom of Judah. Reading his openIng lines, one might think he had been reading our morning papers in 1955. “Why dost thou make me see

wrongs and look upon trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So law is slacked and justice never goes forth . . .” Why does God let meh things go on? . This Is Hard Ta Galieva Habakkuk asked the same question; and got an answer from God that the Lord told him he would hardly believe. Not only was the local scene, in Jerusalem and Judea, dark with violence and inlustice, but the farther horizon was darker still Out of the east the newly resurgent Babylonian empire was rising. Now empires seldom rise peacefully. They come to power with the uproar and the agonies of war. Empires arise by crushing smaller kingdoms, and Babylon was no exception. If you had asked any wide-awake Hebrew •f Habakkuk’s time, “What is the greatest national danger you see threatening your country?,’’ he would probably have said: "The imperial ambitions of Babylon." Most Hebrews would have said that the Babylonians, or Chaldeans •s they are often called, were tha enemies of God's people. But Habakkuk is told something God says Is hard to believe: “I am rousing the Chaldeans.” That bitter, hasty, terrible, violent, godless natioa whose only god was their ows might,—God was abusing wat na tion to punish Judah for Judah’s Bins. What was God going to do about the violence and injustice in Judah? He was going to wipe it out, wipe it off the face of the ground . . . and use the Chaldeans to do it with. » Is Tha Remedy Weise Thu The Disease? We can see from reading the second part of Habakkuk’s first ■ chapter, that he could not understand, at first how God could do such a thing as arousing the Chaldeans. How can God use devilish men to accomplish divine purposes? Is it conceivable that a God who is the Holy One, who cannot look on wrong,—is it conceivable that , such A fiqd wpudd be silent while the ruthless and cruel armies of the invaders were capturing men and treasure, eities and villages, as a fisherman takes everything in his net? Nevertheless it has often been true that God’s good purpose has been set forward by men who did not know nor obey him. When Joseph’s brothers sold him into Egypt as a slave, they intended no good by it. Thelr only motives were greed, cruelty, jealousy and revenge. But God brought good out of it War is a terrible i thing; but as Lincoln suggested, it is quite possible to believe that the horrors of a civil war are God’s way of punishing a nation for the injustice of slavery. If a nation will not listen to its true prophets and repent, God can use sterner measures. Faith Endures Habakkuk, pursuing bravely his questioning of God, comes out at last to two illuminating thoughts which the Lord gave him. (It may be noted in passing that sometimes the questioning mind gets answered when the unquestioning mind does not) One is that in dark days, when God is not to be seen, the man of faith must wait. “God does not settle all his accounts in October.’’ The answer to life’s riddles is not always given Immediately. God’s signature can be seen at the end, though not always do we recognize his handwriting at first. The other thought was this: The man of faith must not give up his faith. For faith has the power of enduring life. God may use a “bitter and hasty nation” to punish another sinful one. But God judges all nations, Chaldea and Judea alike. Seen in the light of history; we can perceive as a fact what Habakkuk could see only with his inward eye: that the God-defying conquering Chaldean nation would vanish soon without a trace, while the tittle conquered people of the Hebrews would survive, because in them was the undying seed of faith. Ottawa — Canada, Brazil and Sweden consume more than one ton of fuel wood per capita each iyear because of a supply abundance. 1

The Church Is A Constructive Force Rev. J. R. Meadows 'Doubt, fear and discouragement never helped a man to get a job nor showed a salesman how to sell more goods. Faith, optimism and cheeriness are the three partners that aid men and women in this community every day. Business can’t be done without them. These and a multitude of other i constructive forces spring from the church. This is applied Christianity. The church is founded upon eternal principles. Whatever may happen to business or to one’s personal fortunes, the church still stands, ever ready to comfort and i strengthen. God, the Bible, the church, are constant qualities which do not shift with every wind that blows. They are the verities in the midst of oceans of uncertainties. Support by your presence the church of your choice. Join with , those who are helping in this community to maintain the ordinances of Christianity. Unite your heart and mind in a common spirit of worship. _ THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: for it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”—Ephesians 2:F,9. ” - - SALEM Evangelical and Reformed H.
