The Psalmist asked, "Why do the wicked prosper, while the righteous suffer?" The prophet Habakkuk asked virtually the same question in his day as he witnessed his homeland overrun with the invading armies of the Chaldeans. Initially, from Habakkuk's perspective, he did not see God's hand in the suffering of his people. Where was the Judge of all the earth during this time of injustice, he wondered. Here Dr. Sproul explains how God's providence and suffering go hand and hand.
