LESSON 5 * SEPTEMBER 29, 2024
REJOICE ANYWAY
BIBLE BASIS: Habakkuk 2:1-5, 3:17-19
BIBLE TRUTH: Job, the psalmist, and Habakkuk all affirm that — no matter what calamities might come their way–they will trust God, rejoice in God’s presence in their lives, and praise God for strength to carry on.
MEMORY VERSE: "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." (Habakkuk 3:17-18).
LESSON AIM: By the end of the lesson, we will:
HEAR God’s message of patience for the people and assurance that God will act with justice:
EXPERIENCE the feeling of joy when we have patiently awaited God’s promises; and
PRACTICE responding to difficulties by trusting in God’s presence and by praising God for strength to endure.
