Habakkuk’s book is small but he cries out to God why all this is happening to the chosen people. He asks questions and God answers telling him that the Babylonians will be taken care of just like the Assyrians. But in the meantime, the Babylonians will be used to remind the Israelites to trust and obey God. With his questions answered he ends his time with God with a prayerful song for all God will do and to remain patient even as he sees destruction all around him.
