Habakkuk is crying out to God for an answer to why God's chosen people are allowed to suffer in their captivity. God is quite blunt and says,"You would not believe it even I told it to you!" But Habakkuk, not satisfied, asks God for more details. God then gives him more details and then tells the earth to be silent before Him. Habakkuk then writes a prayer expressing his strong faith in God, even in these trials.
Impressions: It is OK to question God. He is fine with it, and we should be more trusting, that he is on his throne, orchestrating events that will ultimately be for our own good. This takes faith, and when our faith is weak, and when we are suffering, we can question God, but ultimately rest in the fact that he is sovereign.
