Some books of the bible have funny names indeed. Many of us Christians may never have opened some of these books; some do not even know how to open them even if they know they exist. Aha, the biggest problem at times is to know whether the books are in the Old or New Testament. Have you ever heard of the book of Habakkuk? Yea, it is one of the books of the bible and that is the one I want you to spend some time with today. In the book of Habakkuk, the prophet questions God and the way things have turned out for the children of Israel. Why should God allow them to be taken into captivity in Babylon? Verse one of the first chapter opens with the question: “How long, O Lord? I cry for help but you do not listen!”
It seems that whenever things do not work out as we anticipated, we blame it on God. But when things are working out okay with us, we at times say good-bye to God and his ways. Please read the 3 short chapters of this book and pray that God may be merciful to us his children and protect and guide us from the hands of our enemies.
