Habakkuk part 2

Last our Bible study group worked through the remainder of chapter 2 and 3 of the prophet Habakkuk. Starting at chapter 2 verse 6 we saw the judgment of God on the wicked Chaldeans continuing to the end of the chapter in verse 20. In the middle of this pronouncement of doom we find the wonderful promise of verse 14. "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." Chapter 3 is the prayer song of the prophet. He asks God "in wrath remember mercy" which reminds me of Jesus's story of two men who pray in the temple. One,a Pharisee, proudly lists his accomplishments. The other, a acknowledged sinner pleads, " have mercy on me, a sinner." (Luke 18:9-14) In the final section of the chapter, verses 17-19 Habakkuk rejoices, "I will take joy in the God of my salvation."
