Habakkuk has complained and protested. So have we. God has shown that He has a plan, He is working, and He is always just. But when things still are not turning our the way we wanted them to turn out, how should we respond to God?

It is easy to lose heart when we look around and see people building themselves up through unjust means, seeking their own gain above everything else and engaging in sin and idolatry without shame. We may even start to believe that God will go on tolerating sin and injustice forever. We wonder: "Is God really just and will He tolerate sin forever?"

After we eat our Thanksgiving meal this week, our full-bellied comfort may lead us to take a nap. As long as we're not driving, this is probably safe. But as we live in anticipation of the tribulation and 2nd coming of Jesus, it is not okay to take a spiritual nap. We must stay watchfully awake.
