Where Was God? - God Will End All Suffering

"How long, O Jehovah, must I cry for help, but you do not hear? How long must I ask for help from violence, but you do not intervene?"  (Habakkuk 1:2, 3) These are the words of Habakkuk, a good man who enjoyed God's favor.  Dis his plea indicate a lack of faith?  By no means!  God reassured Habakkuk that He had an appointed time to bring an end to suffering. -Habakkuk 2:2, 3.

When you or someone close to you is suffering, it is easy to conclude that God is slow to act, that he should have intervened by now. Yet, the Bible assures us:  "Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some  people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." -2 Peter 3:9.
