The book of Habakkuk concludes with the prophet’s song of prayer and vision, depicting the power of God, the relentless attack of the enemy, and the joyful strength for the believer who is full of faith.

In chapter 1, we see the prophet calling God’s people to mourn and recognize the transpiring devastation as from the Lord.
