Habakkuk
Written, 600 BC
We love Habakkuk because he
feels like we feel. He looks out
over the national landscape and cries out to God, WHY? God responds but not in a way that
appeases Habakkuk so Habakkuk asks again this time with a declarative statement
to plant himself and wait on God’s answer.
Gods answer? “But the righteous will live by his
faith.” 2:4b
Can we accept that answer being
whispered across two thousand seven hundred years of history? Just looking out over the globe
today makes it not only hard to hear but harder to swallow.
Habakkuk is the best preserved
of all the Old Testament books found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Why?
Read chapter 3! One of the most beautiful passages ever
penned and there we find the key that holds us in Him no matter the global
landscape.
