Habakkuk is a book about waiting, closely aligned with the waiting spirit of Advent. Habakkuk is waiting for deliverance from the Babylonian Empire, and concerned that God will not bring such deliverance. In many ways, Habakkuk's concerns echo the concerns of the people that the promised hero, or Messiah, will not come. God's response to Habakkuk is that of hopeful waiting, and Habakkuk ends by praising God. The praise offered by Habakkuk is a testimony to how we live in Advent. Although we wait for the return of Jesus and get discouraged with how awful the world can get, nevertheless God is active and working and worthy of our praise. Hopefully that helps.
