Habakkuk

Reading in Habakkuk I can't ignore the similarities to present day. In 2-12..."how terrible it will be for you who build your cities with money gained by murder and corruption!" Name a large city.....Miami comes to mind, I recently watched a documentary explaining how all the cocaine money built the majority of the skyline and how the economy suffered when Reagan declared his "war on drugs." Habakkuk 3 is actually a prayer sung by Habakkuk. He begins praising God for all the glorious things He has done...then pleads for Him to remember His mercy in His anger. Also from a music side....the end instructs the choir director to accompany the prayer WITH stringed instruments.....that's how we do it.
Peace and Love
