Joy in the Midst of Suffering

The prophet Habakkuk prophesied during a time of great hardship and suffering, and he honestly asks God why it is all happening. What he discovers as God responds is that God will act justly against evil and in his time will restore his people as well. That mixture of God's justice and grace is what gives those who trust in him the ability to even have joy in the midst of suffering. Passages in this episode: Habakkuk, 2 Corinthians 7
