Sometimes it seems as if no matter what we do, the wicked still prosper. Things going on around us can rattle our faith and cause us to question God. Habbakuk questioned God when it seemed that all efforts to get Judah to repent were useless. When we have these crises, the core question on our mind is this:
“God, can I really trust you?”
God assured Habbakuk of two important facts. First, he would punish the wicked. Second, he would reward the faithful.
Regarding the wicked, it may seem as if they prosper, but what we learn from Romans 1:24-32 is that even now, God’s wrath is being poured out upon them.
Regarding the faithful, it may seem as if we are the underdogs, but what we learn from Romans 5:1-4 is that there great rewards to living by faith that we can grasp hold of today.
One of the greatest principles of all of scripture comes from Habbakuk:
“The Righteous Shall Live By Faith” (Habbakuk 2:4)
