Believers can and must trust in God no matter how tumultuous outward circumstances may be. Whatever circumstances or hardships we experience, we must learn to trust him.
The righteous shall live by faith – Romans 1:7
The righteous shall live by his faith – Habakkuk 2:4
“The righteous will live by faith”- Gal 3:11
But my righteous one will live by faith – Hebrews 10:38
After Habakkuk wrested with God in anguish, he was perplexed by what God was going to do. God was going to use Babylon to punish his own people, Judah even though Babylon was wicked than Judah. He could not understand this! He ultimately learnt how to trust the Lord no matter what. He said:
Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.
Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)
