I have been meditating on the book for a while in preparation for my sermon on 27th July 2008. Your work on God's "work" as salvation and not only as His act of wrath has helped to reinforce my understaning of the book. I wish to get your website for more of your exegetical work (on other books too). Peter Nagaland, India Thanks Randy!

My wife leads a small group for teenage girls at our church. We have developed a simple handout, very much like this post that she regularly uses with the girls to help them stay focussed on honoring our Lord with their speech. Great post.

I usually post my Sunday morning sermons on my website Saturday evenings (editing as I post). Certainly during the next three sermons, if you were to look critically at my series through Habakkuk, I would appreciate it but don't feel obligated. I know we are all very busy.

Habakkuk speaks of the salvation that Yhwh will bring, which is presented in very theophanic language in chapter 3. The Servant song of Isaiah speaks of salvation through the suffering of the Servant followed by his exaltation. In Habakkuk, the wonder is by the faithful one who patiently waits for this salvation to come. In Isaiah, the wonder (specifically in 52:13-15) is by the nations/peoples who marvel that the path to exaltation is through suffering. If anything, I think they work together to present a more complete picture of the work of the Messiah/Servant. Thanks for reading, Randy Robert,

If I am understanding you correctly, the astonishment at the work of God mentioned in Habakkuk 1 is for in the same context as the astonishment mentioned in Isaiah 52:14, i.e., the salvation work of Christ. I do understand that the Hebrew words as well as the contexts are not identical but is there any textual reason to connect the two together? I am beginning this Sunday a three week series on Habakkuk and trust that I do it well but find the task a bit overwhelming :) I just read your post at Expository Thoughts on the Servant Song in Isaiah after rereading this post.
