Today we read another one of the minor prophets, Habakkuk. This book was written to show that God is still in control of the world despite the apparent triumph of evil. One of the prettiest verses in this book comes from Habakkuk’s prayer in 3:2 Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk accepted God’s will. He knew God’s power and control over Judah and the discipline they would face through captivity from the Babylonian Empire. He also knew God would ultimately deliver them from this captivity. We don’t always need to know or understand God’s will, but we must accept His control and His perfect plan.
