When You Don’t Know Why, Know Who

Habakkuk 3:17–19 (KJV)

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat… Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength…” — Habakkuk 3:17–19

“Many times, it is not what you know that matters but rather who we know that makes all the difference.” - Why? A Study of Habakkuk Book

Habakkuk began by trying to understand what God was doing, but eventually learned to trust Who God is, even when he could not understand everything God was doing.

Bottom line? Trust the God You Know.

There are times when life gives us more questions than answers. We look at our circumstances and ask, “Why?” Why did God allow this? Why hasn’t He intervened? Why hasn’t He answered my prayer? Habakkuk knew that struggle.

But by the end of his journey, Habakkuk discovered something greater than an explanation: he discovered a deeper confidence in God. He did not receive every answer to every question, but he learned that he could trust the One who held every answer.

Many times, it is not what you know that matters but rather who we know that makes all the difference. I repeated this because of the significance!

That is the heart of faith. Faith does not require that I understand everything God is doing. Faith requires that I trust the God who knows everything He is doing.

Habakkuk moved from questioning God’s plan to resting in who God is. He moved from looking at his circumstances to looking at his God.

When the fig tree does not blossom, when the fields produce nothing, and when circumstances appear hopeless, we can still rejoice—not because everything is good, but because God is still good.

You may not know why today. But you can know Who holds tomorrow.

Lord, when I cannot understand Your plan, help me trust You! Teach me to live by faith, not by sight. Amen.

The Cost of Building Without God

From Chapter 4 – “The Woes of the Works of Man”

Chapter 4 of Habakkuk reveals a sobering truth: anything built apart from God will eventually crumble. Nations, leaders, and people may appear successful through power, greed, or pride, but God sees beyond outward prosperity and judges the motives of the heart.

The Chaldeans trusted in their military strength, wealth, and accomplishments, believing they were unstoppable. Yet God pronounced a series of “woes” against them because their foundation was rooted in selfish ambition rather than righteousness. Habakkuk learned that human achievement without God ultimately leads to emptiness and destruction.

Romans 1:28 gives a chilling picture of a society that intentionally removes God from its thinking: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind…” When people no longer desire God’s truth to guide their decisions, morality begins to collapse and darkness replaces discernment.

Psalm 127:1 declares, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” The world celebrates status, possessions, and influence, but none of these can replace obedience to God. Success that ignores Him is temporary.

Habakkuk’s message still speaks clearly today. A culture may advance technologically and materially while collapsing spiritually. God is not impressed by what man can build if His truth is rejected in the process.

The believer’s confidence is not in earthly systems, political power, or personal accomplishments. Our hope rests in the kingdom of God, which cannot be shaken. What is built on pride will fall, but what is built on faith will endure forever.

Living by Faith in Uncertain Times

From Chapter 3 – “Through Faith…”

Faith is easy to speak about when life is comfortable, but true faith is revealed when circumstances become uncertain. Chapter 3 emphasizes that Habakkuk’s journey ultimately led him from confusion to confidence because he learned to trust God beyond what he could see.

The prophet stood watch, waiting for God’s plan to unfold, even though the answers did not come immediately. Habakkuk discovered that faith is not passive resignation; it is active trust in the promises of God. That truth is captured in Habakkuk 2:4: “The just shall live by his faith.”

Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Abraham demonstrated this kind of faith when he obeyed God without knowing the destination or outcome. Habakkuk learned the same lesson: God does not always explain every detail, but He always remains faithful.

Even when society seems dark and evil appears to prosper, believers are called to watch, wait, worship, and trust. God’s timing is perfect, and His promises never fail.

When fear whispers that everything is falling apart, faith quietly answers, “God is still in control.”

Faith That Dares to Ask

From Chapter 2 – “Habakkuk the Inquisitive Man”

Habakkuk was not afraid to bring his questions before God. Surrounded by violence, corruption, and spiritual decline, he boldly cried out, “Why?” Yet his questioning was not rooted in rebellion, but in faith. He believed God had the answers, even when he could not understand the circumstances around him.

Chapter 2 describes Habakkuk as an intercessor who carried his people “in his arms” before the Lord. Rather than walking away from God in confusion, he ran toward Him with honesty and humility. In doing so, Habakkuk teaches believers that faith is not the absence of questions—it is bringing those questions to the right source.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes the greatest spiritual growth comes after we stop striving and begin listening. Habakkuk eventually moved from frustration to faith because he waited for God to speak.

Jesus echoed this same invitation in John 14:6 when He declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The answers we seek are ultimately found not in explanations, but in Christ Himself.

When life feels confusing, do not let questions drive you from God. Let them draw you closer to Him.

When “Why” Meets Faith

From Chapter 1 – “The Immutability of God”

One of the hardest questions a believer asks is, “Why?” Habakkuk looked around at violence, corruption, and spiritual decline and wondered why God seemed silent. Yet through his questioning, he discovered something greater than an explanation—he discovered the unchanging nature of God.

The study reminds us that while man’s understanding is limited, God’s wisdom is eternal and perfect. Habakkuk learned that even when circumstances appear chaotic, God is still working His plan. The Lord answered him in Habakkuk 1:5: “I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.”

Faith does not require us to understand everything. Proverbs 3:5 teaches, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Isaiah 55:8-9 further reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

Like Habakkuk, we often want immediate answers, but God calls us to trust His character over our circumstances. When life feels uncertain, remember this truth: God has never lost control. He is still faithful, still present, and still working—even when we cannot yet see the outcome.

When God Uses the Unlikely

God’s sovereignty reaches further than we often realize. Throughout Scripture, He sometimes uses even wicked nations to correct His own people. In Isaiah 10, Assyria is called “the rod” of God’s anger, sent against a wayward Israel. In Habakkuk 1, God raises up Babylon—a bitter and hasty nation—to bring judgment on Judah. Yet God never excuses their evil; He later judges them as well.

This truth continues in the New Testament. Acts 2 reminds us that even the crucifixion of Christ—carried out by wicked hands—fulfilled God’s determined plan.

The message is sobering and reassuring: God is never out of control. Even in discipline, His purpose is restoration, not destruction.

When circumstances feel harsh or confusing, remember—God may be working through unexpected means to draw His people back to Himself, always with justice, and always with mercy.
