Habakkuk whose name means “to embrace” or “cling to” was a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah and served during the difficult days that preceded the demise and destruction of the nation of Judah and the subsequent Babylonian Captivity. Fear and uncertainty were rampant! So many people were living lives of quiet desperation. It is not unlike the times in which we live. Uniquely, Habakkuk did not confront the people but CONFRONTED GOD as he wrestled with the problems of sin, evil and suffering around him. God’s final word to him and to us was “the just shall live by faith” (2:4). This message challenges us to have “the faith that holds on when life holds out”.
