A question that has long haunted humanity is the existence of evil. As Habukkuk turns to question the Lord again, he cannot understand why the wicked prosper, why evil bears fruit. In Habakkuk’s questions we find our questions and in turn, embrace a God who confronts evil and who one day overcome all evil once and for all.
The themes of doubt and despair find expression in the questions of the prophet Habakkuk. Standing as an advocate between humanity and God, Habakkuk gives voices to some of the questions that we are afraid to even whisper in the dark. But God is not afraid of these questions, He is not afraid of our past, present, or future. Instead, we are encouraged to embrace a hope that is lived in faith in Him.
