Faith's Starting Point
When facing confusing circumstances, Habakkuk models the right approach. Before questioning God's actions, he affirms God's character. Commentators note that by calling on God as 'from everlasting,' 'my God,' and 'my Holy One,' the prophet grounds his complaint in a deep, personal trust. This teaches believers to anchor their hearts in the truth of who God is, especially when His ways are hard to understand.
