Hey Ump, Are You Blind?

In baseball, when fans see what they believe was an unjust call, they will often cry out at the umpire, “Hey ump, are you blind?” It almost sounds like the complaint that the prophet Habakkuk makes here in the Old Testament. He looks at the injustice all around him and wonders why it seems to go unnoticed by God. And chances are good that you may be as perplexed as the prophet as you see what’s going on in the world around you, and especially when injustice hits close to home. Why does God tolerate wrong?
