Habakkuk’s encounter with the Lord began in frantic, desperate prayer concerning Judah’s sin. God’s answer only increased his anxiety. He challenged the appropriateness of God’s plan. However, the prophet comes to a new understanding after he is given a vision of God coming in infinite power. The Divine Warrior will execute judgment and bring salvation. Habakkuk acknowledges the righteousness of God’s work and prepares to endure the coming day of trouble, quietly waiting for the promised deliverance.
