Habakkuk is an expression of honest perplexity. As in the Psalms, in this book we see a man who comes to God with his real thoughts and feelings. It is a reminder to us that God is ready, willing, and able to hear our questions and concerns, whatever they may be. And we must be ready to receive his answers. Habakkuk heard God's answers and responded with unbridled faith. As this book comes to a close (3:17-19), Habakkuk expresses his unqualified joy in the Lord, without regard to circumstances, however perplexing they may be.
