I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
The prophet Habakkuk waited for an answer from God as to why the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. That ageless question rises in every generation, and God’s basic answer to Habakkuk and to us is found in verse 4 of this same chapter, “the just shall live by his faith.” God knows what he is doing and in his own time the wicked shall be punished and the righteous rewarded. Verse 14 also shares that the time is coming when “the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea,” and verse 20 assures us that “the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.” Oh, let us learn what Habakkuk learned. God is both faithful and just, and “the just shall live by faith.”
