Habakkuk concludes with a powerful statement. All may be lost, no fruit may be on the vine, but even still he will rejoice in the Lord. The call of Habakkuk is the call upon our lives today, to live in faith, trusting in the Lord, trusting that He will guide us, even when the path narrows, even when the way forward seems impossible, He will be our strength.
The themes of doubt and despair find expression in the questions of the prophet Habakkuk. Standing as an advocate between humanity and God, Habakkuk gives voices to some of the questions that we are afraid to even whisper in the dark. But God is not afraid of these questions, He is not afraid of our past, present, or future. Instead, we are encouraged to embrace a hope that is lived in faith in Him.
