Was Habakkuk kidding himself? Habakkuk 3:17-18

To rejoice during disaster seems like denial -- and totally inappropriate if you look at the circumstances (Habakkuk 3:17-18).

To me, the sentiment expressed by Habakkuk is indicative not of willful self-deception, but of the type of profound faith exhibited by Job when he said of God in Job 13:15, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him," despite the tremendous suffering that God's permissive will had allowed Satan to inflict; or Paul's expression of confidence in the midst of persecution in Romans 8:18 and Romans 8:37-39.
