Habakkuk and the Challenge of Faith in Evil Times

Habakkuk was a prophet who carried a heavy burden.  He carefully observed the behavior of the wicked and he wanted to know why Yahweh had not judged their terrible behavior.  He observed that the wicked surrounded the righteous in order to strangle and curtail justice. The wicked proved themselves incredibly selfish and determined to do everything in their power to hinder the Word of God.
