Active Waiting

Minor Prophet Habakkuk laments to God and shares his frustration at the wickedness he sees around him. Feels familiar. God answers that if it seems like justice has not come, to wait, for it is coming. When there are destructive hurricanes, corruption, children going hungry, and all that we lament in our world, we can cry out and like Habakkuk who stands his post and keeps watch, we can engage in active waiting on God's justice. We can volunteer, we can sow seeds of kindness, we can continue to act with justice and mercy, and we can continue to cry out to God. So this week, don't just wait, but actively wait and work for God's unfolding justice is coming.
