Habakkuk 1, 2 and 3 reflect the thoughts of a frustrated prophet. He wonders how long God will wait and allow this rebellious people to continue in their sin. God tells him to keep waiting. God has an appointed time that is right.

The book ends with a prayer of praise telling of how God answered in the past. The prophet promises to wait. Even if he does not see any indication that God is working he puts his trust in God.

We pray and then…we wait. Sometimes the waiting is excruciatingly long. We wonder if God is even listening. Like Habakkuk, we need to take the stance that even though we do not see God working, we trust the He is there and is working His purpose out.

 Psalm 145 is a song of praise for who God is, for what He has done and will do.
