Habukkuk is a nice little gem in the Bible.
It opens with Habukkuk basically complaining to God and grumbling about the state of humanity. God reassures him that He is working in ways Habukkuk cannot understand. Habukkuk complains some more, God reassures him again and in the end, Habukkuk praises the Lord.
I found this to be a nice reminder that we are not to hid our doubts or anger from God. That is not the way to increase your faith. If you hide your doubts, your faith is not very strong. Strong faith is taking your questions to God and trusting that he will give you answers. Faith is knowing that even when things seem terrible, God is in control and he can handle your "criticism".
I think one of the most incredible lessons that comes out of the new testament is how intensely personal our relationship with God is. We are not expected to blindly worship Him. We are free to wrestle with him as Jacob did and question him as Habukkuk and many others did. God will always come through. There is nothing we can throw at him that he can't handle.
Our God is mighty.
