The prophet Habakkuk did. He looked at the injustice around him and wondered why God did not seem to change the situation. As he continued to look to God, the prophet ended up getting answers—but they were far different from what he expected. Learn how to worship in the middle of worry, confusion, and frustration in this practical series on Habakkuk. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/happy-delays-6002 2010-01-12T09:17:38-05:00 I can't begin to see all the incredible purposes of God and the unexplainable ways of God, but I can begin to settle down and trust that any delay - that every delay is for my good and for His glory. And when I finally do see some of His reasons for the delay, I will be so grateful that He took His time! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/happy-delays-5747 2009-09-09T15:51:53-05:00 I couldn't help but reflect on the ways of God over and over in my life. How often He has seemed to be taking forever, delaying the answer I was praying for. But in every situation, without exception, there was always a good reason for what seemed like a delay. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/spring-in-the-middle-of-your-winter-8221 2009-03-17T15:53:25-05:00 You know we can learn a lot about the ways of God through the ways He brings Spring out of winter. That may be what He’s doing right now in the middle of what has been for you a cold and dark winter season of your life. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Your-Emergency-Lights-5662 2008-10-09T15:33:28-05:00 If your joy is attached to your circumstances, when the storm knocks them out, you'll be in the dark. But if your joy is internally generated from an unshakable relationship with your awesome, Sovereign Lord, then you have light that will be there when every other light fails. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/When-God-Couldn-t-Bear-to-Look-4297 2008-08-21T10:42:33-05:00 As a father, it really hurts to watch the son you love suffer - a feeling God knows all too well, and on a level I could never comprehend. Because His one and only Son Jesus went through unbearable agony, dying an excruciating death on a cross. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/The-Loneliest-Lonely-of-All-5091 2008-08-06T11:52:28-05:00 It would be cheap for me to say, "I know how you feel." I probably don't. But I know someone who does - who really does. That would be Jesus. In fact, no one on earth has ever experienced the depth of loneliness He went through. And that's one of the reasons you can trust Him in a way that you can trust no one else in your life. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Waiting-for-the-Best-5238 2008-07-31T14:49:17-05:00 It could be that right now God has asked you to spend some time in His waiting room - and it feels like the line's not moving - nothing is happening. But God's best almost always comes after a wait - like the birth of a baby. Right now God is preparing you for your answer and your answer for you and you can't rush it. He's building faith in you that you'd never have if you got an instant answer. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Your-Emergency-Lights-5327 2008-07-30T11:22:29-05:00 So, if your joy is attached to your circumstances, when the storm knocks them out, you'll be in the dark. But if your joy is internally generated - from an unshakable relationship with your awesome, Sovereign Lord - then you have light that will be there when every other light fails.
