...one wonders just what there? Fellow Christians: When one looks at the ‘smaller books’ of the Old Testament, one wonders just what there purpose is and what value they have for today’s modern society, with this in mind:
Question:
What is the main purpose of such a book as Habakkuk, what is its significance for today’s modern society?
 
When violence and corruption abound and evil appears to rule, the faithful may be tempted to wonder whether God really cares or is really in control. Habakkuk's dialogue helps us to understand that God does not despise such questions when they are carried to him in prayer from an honest heart.

Habakkuk's prophecy reaffirms that God is in control of history and that his dealings are always just and right. Believers must be willing to accept God's answers and delight in his will, even if those are completely foreign to their own thinking. God does see and care deeply about what happens on earth. Although people may not perceive it, God's soverign hand is at work and he will ultimately bring matters to a proper and just conclusion.
