Habakkuk and Hebrews together? What a strange combination! Yet a common theme runs through both books—assurance, blessed assurance. Therefore, when studied together these two Biblical books shed light on each other. Habakkuk asked some very hard questions as he confronted the silence of God—questions that we ask even today. But despite his penetrating questions, Habakkuk was a believer—not a doubter. He questioned because he cared about God and wanted to understand God's ways. The author of the book of Hebrews carefuIly blended practical advice with theological reasoning. Throughout his book he contrasts the “better" of Christianity with the “good" of Judaism. And he too focuses on the idea of assurance. Both books raise the questions we ask and wrestle with the doubts we face. And both point to the path of confident, buoyant living.
