The current situation is very chaotic not only in our country but also around the world due to wars, famines, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic that have been occurring all over the world.
The Book of Habakkuk presents a biblical answer and application to such reality.
Christopher Wright's commentary on Habakkuk is a book that accurately explains and helps apply these points.
This strong message suggests an appropriate attitude of faith and belief, showing how believers should deal with the absurdities they constantly feel and experience in their daily lives.

What is biblical "faith"? What exactly is a biblical "righteous person"? What kind of life should a "believing righteous person" lead? The Book of Habakkuk offers clear answers to these fundamental and ultimate questions of faith.
This book helps modern believers understand and apply the answers provided in Habakkuk.

The world described by the prophet Habakkuk in the Book of Habakkuk remains a relevant text because it resembles countless periods in human history, including our own (one that, one might say, becomes increasingly familiar with time).
Habakkuk's time and ours were worlds of national sin, international turmoil, and violence, so rampant that it seemed as if God were asleep, yet it was a world in which it was believed that God was still "at work."
--- From the "Preface"

We can see that Habakkuk lived in a world similar to the one we live in.
At that time, it was a situation of turmoil, with tense international tensions, the decline of a superpower that had dominated an era and the rise of another, the anxiety and fear of weaker nations that were easily trampled by the conflicts of the great powers, and the alliances and alliances that arose.
At the same time, Jewish society was suffering from social disintegration and decadence due to the rift in moral and religious solidarity and tradition.
…what would Habakkuk have said about this situation? More importantly, what would God have said about it?
--- From "Introductory Remarks"

If you find yourself asking God questions right now, with your mind full of questions that are so complex that they can't even be sorted out... then, quite honestly and biblically, you are in a very good relationship with God!
--- From Chapter 1, Questioning God's Silence

Sometimes God says to us, “Look again!”
We often find ourselves deeply immersed and confused in the situations we face.
At times like these, it's necessary to take a step back and look at a broader horizon.
We need God's perspective.
We must understand that God and the Bible are not only concerned with our personal salvation or the intellectual or ethical issues we face.
Rather, there is a bigger picture behind it.
In fact, we must consider that the Bible is a grand narrative that includes not only God and each of us, but also God and the nations, and even God and all creation.
I hope you'll take this perspective! Broaden your horizons!
--- From Chapter 2, Questioning God's Sovereignty

Habakkuk is called to continue living in faith in God, who sovereignly governs history, including the troubling events of his own time.
Habakkuk must continue to live by faith in this world that he cannot possibly understand.

--- From Chapter 3, Living by Faith

God's agent of judgment now becomes the object of God's judgment.
Let's go back to Habakkuk.
God says that Babylon's evil deeds will return upon them.
They will reap what they sow.
The tables will turn.
And those whom they have oppressed and exploited will rise up and mock them.
...
Ultimately, in each of the five descriptions, the seed of judgment is contained within sin.
This truth is contained in God's moral law.
It's the law of reaping what you sow.
Sin always has evil consequences, and those evil consequences will boomerang back on the heads of the sinners, whether they are individuals or groups.
--- From “Chapter 4: Proclaiming God’s Judgment”

The song of Habakkuk has ended and we have reached the end of the book of Habakkuk.
Now, can we imagine what this prophet is thinking? Is he laughing, clapping, and beaming with joy? Or is he singing "Three Little Birds" with Bob Marley, reassuring us that everything will be alright? Not at all.
Habakkuk is still trembling with fear because God has shown him the future that is just around the corner.
But at the same time, we see Habakkuk strengthened in his faith.
--- From Chapter 5, Trusting God's Word

In a world where fear is on the rise and the cycle of human violence and "natural" disasters accelerates, what kind of people are we called to be as we know the living God and believe in His Son, Jesus Christ? A review of the preceding chapters will reveal at least five challenges.
