God has given his answer to the prophet Habakkuk. Habakkuk has been praying to God about how he does not understand what God is doing in the world. It did not make sense to him. He has been crying out to God asking, “Why?” and “How long?” God did not give specific answers to these questions. Rather, God tells Habakkuk that he is going to act in unbelievable ways. Since God will act in his time in unbelievable ways, God tells Habakkuk that the righteous will not trust in themselves but will live by their faith. Further, God tells Habakkuk that he is in his holy temple and all the earth must keep silence before him. Let God be God. Now God’s part of this discussion has concluded. Habakkuk is given the final word in the third chapter of Habakkuk. What will Habakkuk say to this definitive response from the Lord? What will be Habakkuk’s answer? What should the faithful say when we recognize that the Lord is in his holy temple? Open your copies of God’s word to Habakkuk 3 and we will learn from Habakkuk how to respond to God when we do not understand what God is doing in the world and doing in our lives…
