Habakkuk's Questioning Prophecy

Habakkuk is so upset about the violence he see in his nation. So much so that he asks Gd the basic question we all ask...Why? He does not understand why he would allow a nation like Babylon to win at destroying Judah. Ahh, but God answers him nicely. he tells him that first off Judah need to be punished and that not bad deed will go un-punished whether if be from Judah or from Babylon. Babylons win will only be superficial. They will continue to do this and will create enemies which will lead to their demise. Habakkuk listens to God, understands what he is saying and accepts His words. But like all of us asks God to hurry it up a bit.

Basically He is telling us that we need to open out eyes. We can not deceive ourselves by just looking at there here and now or looking at the appearance of something. The successful people do not need to be envied. We have something much better then money, silver and Gold. We have a God that will protect us in times of disaster and guide up through any troubles we may have. Judgment and discipline will always come upon those who are un-just and disobedient to God. You want an answer...go to Gods word and He will provide answers for you!
