Habakkuk was a priest and a minister of worship and music, who lived when the threat of Babylon's invasion was clear to all. But while Jerusalem's watchmen were in towers looking for the coming army, Habakkuk stationed himself in a spiritual watchtower to hear from God. He is known for repeatedly asking God, "Why?" as he wrestles with the questions all of Judah must have been asking. Habakkuk encourages Judah to live by faith and to keep their hope.
