This is a powerful Bible verse. At its reading just now an inexplicable peace came over me — no explanation other than the mystery of God. As the kingdom of Judah totters on the brink of destruction by the Babylonians, the prophet Habakkuk asks God questions everyone may wonder from time to time: Why does God tolerate injustice and wrongdoing? Why do evil people prosper? Why does God allow evil to appear to overtake good? God’s answer is that in the long run evil will reap what it has sown. “The cup from the LORD’s right hand is coming around to you….” Maybe God’s answer isn’t as in depth as I might like, but it provides assurance to me that God is in control. He has the answers and I will be given answers as needed (not wanted). My heart can be quiet before his glory, omnipotence and omniscience.
