Habakkuk’s cry reflects the deep personal uncertainty he faced. Yet he turned to the only One who had the answers and affirmed, the just shall live by faith. After waiting on God, his trust deepened: Though … yet I will rejoice in the LORD … The Sovereign LORD is my strength (Habakkuk 3:17–19). His hope came from listening to God.
Today we hear from God through the Scriptures. Paul reminded Timothy that All Scripture is given by inspiration of God … that the man of God may be complete (2 Timothy 3:15–17). Bible-distributing groups like Gideons International rejoice as many receive and read the Word. Where would we be without it? Let this be a reminder to treasure God’s Word—reading, meditating and allowing it to guide our thoughts, actions and faith, just as it did for Habakkuk in his day.
