The prophet’s complaint is: “the law becomes slack and justice never prevails” (v. 4).
This can be summarized as two complaints that we see continue to this day:
- The Torah is not being kept.
- Injustice is present in society.
God’s response is profound and worth us meditating on: “Look at the nations, and see! Be astonished! Be astounded! For a work is being done in your days that you would not believe if you were told.” (v. 5)
Often the Lord is working in ways we might not see or understand. When we honestly bring our lament to God, there is an opportunity to see God’s vision on situations. We may not get the whole answer, but we can live knowing God is in control.

About this Plan
Habakkuk is all about having vision when all you see is injustice. It is a timely book for the Church today to engage with. How do you carry a vision when the world seems to be going in the opposite direction? Habakkuk gives us some great insights into this question. This plan was crafted as a My Local Church study plan. We hope you will join us on this journey.
