How Then Shall We Live in Evil Days?

In this next section of the book of Habakkuk, the prophet raises yet another complaint against the Lord. The prophet does not see how God's use of Babylon can be consistent with His own character and promises. Rather than relent of His plans to judge Judah through this wicked nation, the Lord simply reaffirms His decree to the indignant prophet. Indeed, Judah shall see evil days ahead for her rebellion. Thus, the question for the people of God becomes: How then shall we live in evil days? The answer: The just shall live by his faithfulness.
