Habakkuk 3:11-14
Excerpted from: Joshua's Four Miracles (Part Two)The word struck in verse 13 is machats, and you know what it means? To smash, to beat to pieces, to crush, to scatter, or shatter. It is a synonym of the word that was used for bruise (should be crush) in Genesis 3:15.
This section in Habakkuk is undoubtedly a reflection on what God did in Joshua 10. And the prophet shows God as a warrior leading soldiers to execute judgment—marching through the land in His wrath and trampling the nations in His anger. So these verses, or these phrases, express God's judgment, delivering His people with a great victory over the iniquitous Canaanites—specifically these Amorites. And He did this by crushing the heads of the Amorite soldiers with large hailstones—literal, is He not? He took them from His own arsenal.
Habakkuk 3:1-19
Excerpted from: Proverbs 31 and the Wife of ChristThe prophet struggled throughout the book to make sense of the crazy life around him and why God would allow things to go on the way they were. Yet finally, at the end of the book, with an eye toward God's perfect sovereignty, Habakkuk ends with these words of absolute faith.
The Lord is my chayil. He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me to walk in my high hills. The virtuous wife's strength is from God to be used in learning to live as He lives forever.
