We are called to love God and love others. The exploitation of others runs in direct opposition to how God created us. And yet even today we see humans using humans to their own ends and means. Woe to the one who lives in such a way.
The themes of doubt and despair find expression in the questions of the prophet Habakkuk. Standing as an advocate between humanity and God, Habakkuk gives voices to some of the questions that we are afraid to even whisper in the dark. But God is not afraid of these questions, He is not afraid of our past, present, or future. Instead, we are encouraged to embrace a hope that is lived in faith in Him.
