“I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day” (3:2). After the prophet’s complaints and God’s responses, he prayed toward resolution in his soul. He recalled God’s past mighty deeds: the Lord “shook the earth ... and made nations tremble (6); He “raged against the sea” (8); and He “delivered” His people (13). With this in mind, Habakkuk found faith to wait patiently for the Lord’s action (16).

“Though the fig tree does not bud ...” (3:17). When we “stand in awe” of God’s amazing creation and His mighty acts of deliverance – especially His great salvation through Christ - we find strength to face temporary disappointment. He promises to help us “tread on the heights” (3:19).
