Today on the podcast we reflect on the hubris of assuming we have all the answers and know exactly how everything should be. Habakkuk makes a solid reference point. His initial reaction to God's plan for intervention is rejection: No thanks, God, we're good how we are. By the end of Habakkuk's three chapters, he's still not happy. He's not "on-board." But he is willing to hope anyway. 

In Luke 14, Jesus asks a group of Jewish legal scholars to weigh in on whether or not healing is an appropriate and legal Sabbath activity. The legal scholars offer silence as the answer, Jesus heals the man in front of him who is suffering from an edema, and then provides the people around him an opportunity to recognize that minimizing suffering and saving life is always appropriate sabbath activity. The challenge, though, is learning to value the humanity in others more than you value being “right.”
