Prophesying during the four year period between the tragic death of King Josiah in battle and the first invasion of Judah by the Babylonians, Habakkuk, a contemporary of Jeremiah, delivered the Lord's word to the people of the kingdom that national disaster was not only unavoidable but also impending. He sensed that he would live to see the kingdom's slow death. But he did not give himself over to despair nor would he allow himself to be swallowed up in the gloom that was gathering over the nation. Instead, he turned his attention to God and prayed that the Lord would, in the very midst of the years when divine wrath would be poured out on the land, send a great spiritual awakening. Habakkuk prayed for the revival of the Lord's work and for the return to true worship. He was able to rejoice in the Lord even though the judgment of the Lord was going to devastate the land and affect those as well who were faithful to the Lord. In the face of unavoidable judgment, the people of God are still to trust in the Lord for He has said that He will never surrender His purpose to bless His people with revival.
