[:en]SILENCE
When Habakkuk saw rampant oppression he asked: “How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?” (Hab. 1:2) But God had noticed, and He said: “Woe to him who piles up stolen goods … who builds his house by unjust gain!” (Hab. 2:6,9).
We want God to make a quick judgment. But the appropraite response to God’s silence is … silence! We often neglect to see our own spiritual poverty. We do not see our own sinfulness in the presence of a holy God. We should learn to trust God’s control and timing. – (Tim Gustafson)[:]
