HABAKKUK’S FIRST COMPLAINT: WHY IS THERE NO JUSTICE?

The Lord’s First Answer: Look! Justice by the Babylonians!

HABAKKUK’S SECOND COMPLAINT: JUSTICE? BUT, THE WICKED SWALLOWS UP THE MAN MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN HE?

The Lord’s Second Answer: The righteous shall live by his faith.

HABAKKUK’S PSALM

Achtemeier

Habakkuk is a book for all faithful people, of whatever era, who find themselves living “in the meantime”—in the time between the revelation of the promises of God and the fulfillment of those promises—in the time between their redemption, when God made his purposes clear, and the final time when that divine purpose will be realized in all the earth. As such, Habakkuk is a book from faith for faith.

Psalm 13:1–2 (ESV)

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

How long must I take counsel in my soul

and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Psalm 74:10–11 (ESV)

How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?

Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?

Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!

Revelation 6:9–10 (ESV)

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

Luke 18:7–8 (ESV)

And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Satisfied in You (by The Sing Team)

So when I′m drowning out at sea

And Your breakers and Your waves crash down on me

I′ll recall Your safety scheme

You're the one who made the waves

And Your Son went out to suffer in my place

And to tell me that I′m safe

Psalm 42:5 (ESV)

Why are you cast down, O my soul,

and why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,

my salvation and my God.

Romans 1:16–17 (ESV)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
