God reveals to Habakkuk, and by extension to us, that evil and injustice, pain and suffering will not have the last word. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea, and those who live by faith in the promise of God will enjoy its fruit. So, ’Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.’ Don’t throw away your confidence because of temporary suffering, keep your eyes on Him.
