As Lord Cornwallis’ troops surrendered at Yorktown their band struck up a popular tune of the time entitled, “The World Turned Upside Down.”   No doubt, they struggled to grasp how a band of unorganized insurgents had defeated the greatest military super-power of the day?  What is even more mysterious to the Christian today is how an almighty, all beneficent God can allow injustice and evil in the world.   Unless we have formed our understanding of God from the Bible, we are apt to think that the world is, indeed, turned upside down.   Habakkuk struggled with God’s tolerance of evil and his apparent unjust use of the wicked to chastise his own people.   Habakkuk, like us, was tempted to view God as unfair when looking through the lens of reason and not that of revelation.   Join Pastor Wheeler as he examines why we often struggle with God’s mysterious timing and methods and how we can faithfully wrestle with a world turned upside down.
