Episode Summary
Coming at the end of Habakkuk’s vision of our mighty, powerful God who brings judgement and salvation, these verses depict the devastation brought by the God’s justice. And then Habakkuk’s surprising joy despite his surroundings.

Helpful Resources
- Contentment is wrapped up with the question of whether we can rejoice like Habakkuk, whatever our circumstances. There are several good books in relation to this issue, but a starting point would be to read Philippians where Paul exemplifies this. Jennie Pollock has just written If Only on that topic spring-boarding off Philippians.  The Envy of Eve by Melissa Krueger is excellent, and Sophie De Witt’s Compared To Her is really helpful.  A relatively new podcast called Shielded by Grace had a good conversation about this kind of thing

- Here is the Open Doors watchlist for praying for persecuted Christians around the world

Tea and Biscuit Footnotes
Sarah was cradling a cup full of Yorkshire tea, that she decorated when she was 7.  She continues to pick below average biscuits, and this week’s was a pink wafer. Felicity had a mug of Betty’s teashop tea, and no biscuit due to recording at a ‘non-biscuit’ moment due to time differences.
