The story in children’s words
Habakkuk cried to God, "How long will I call for help, and You will not hear?" God said He was sending a fierce nation to punish His people, and Habakkuk did not understand. He stood and waited for God's answer. God told him to write the vision down plainly, and said, "The righteous will live by his faith." God also promised that one day the whole earth will be filled with knowing His glory, like water covering the sea. At the end, Habakkuk sang that even if the fields gave no food at all, he would still rejoice in God who saves. Then more trumpet woes fell on the earth in John's vision, and still people would not turn from their sins. Jesus calls people to trust Him and live by faith, just as Habakkuk learned to do.
