I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will
watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am
reproved. – Habakkuk 2.1
There is a lot of waiting around to see what God is
going to do among the prophets. Just a couple of days ago we read about waiting
on God, but I like the way Habakkuk puts it. You can almost sense a little bit
of attitude.
‘You know what? I can’t figure this out. I know God
can’t bear evil and yet evil is rampant. I don’t understand how God can use the
really evil Chaldeans to punish the less evil Judah. So I am just going to stop
and watch and wait for an answer.’
I have to say that I admire that kind of spirit. I have
said before that there are things about the future that make ne anxious. After
all these years I can still fret and worry about things I have no control over.
When I can’t see an answer, indeed, when we can’t see
an answer there is something we can do.
We can get over ourselves, sit back, and watch to see
what God is going to do. That’s not my cuppa tea, but I know that it is the
thing to do. Do what we can. Then watch, wait, and rely on God and who He is.
