How long, O LORD, will I call for help,
And You will not hear? I cry out to You, "Violence!"
Yet You do not save.
Habakkuk 1:2, NASB
The prophet has seen violence and other vices, asked God that they be done away with, but they still exist. He does not understand why God allows such sinfulness to exist, God's laws to be ignored, and perversion to exist. As I grow in Christ, I find I feel the same way. The more I love Him and His will, the more I despise sinfulness. Today try to live the idiom, hate the sin but love the sinner. Habakkuk did.
