Habakkuk Chapter 3 is a prayer of the prophet, in which he expresses his confidence in God, even in the face of the difficulties and adversities that the people of Judah were facing. He recognizes the greatness and power of God and asks him to intervene to save his people. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics covered in Habakkuk 3:
Psalm 18:2: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my liberator; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the power that saves me, my tower . " This verse speaks of trust in God as a protector and savior, just as Habakkuk expressed in his prayer.
Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and our fortress, aid always present in adversity." This verse reinforces the idea that God is a safe and constant shelter for those who trust him, even when they face difficulties.
Isaiah 40:28: "Do you not know, never heard? The Lord is the eternal God, the Creator of all the earth. He is not tired or exhausted; His wisdom is unfathomable." This verse highlights the greatness and power of God, central themes of the prayer of Habakkuk.
Psalm 144:5: "Get down, Lord, of the heavens; touches the hills, that they may smoke." This verse makes a request for God to intervene on earth, just as Habakkuk asks him to save his people.
Isaiah 35:4: "Say the discouraged heart: 'Be strong, don't be afraid! See your God: revenge comes, divine retribution; He comes to save them.'" This verse brings a message of encouragement to Those who are experiencing difficulties, just as Habakkuk seeks to encourage the people of Judah in their prayer.
