Habakkuk talks very freely with God. He is troubled and discouraged that the leaders in Judah are oppressing the poor and that these wicked people prosper. Why doesn't God do something about it? he asks. But God replies that He is a God of justice and eventually everyone will be judged and right will prevail. In the meantime He tells Habakkuk to have confidence in God because the just shall live by faith.
How good it is to be open with the Lord and bring our concerns to Him. He is able to take every puzzling thing we bring and turn it to advantage. All things WILL work together for good. Give God time to sort out the dilemma you have discussed with Him. In chapter 3: 17,18 of the book of Habakkuk, he says that he will rejoice in the Lord even though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, and no cattle in the stalls.
It takes humility to read the word of God, to receive it and put it into practice in our daily lives!
'The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army: He makes my feet like hind's feet and will make me to walk (not to stand still in terror, but to walk) and make (spiritual) progress upon my high places (of trouble, suffering, or responsibility)! Hab 3:19 (amp)
