Sunday Reflection (November 13, 2022)
The prophet Habakkuk reminds us to not give religious cover to political or societal thieves and robbers at any level (Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-5). The band U2 in “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” to “claim the victory Jesus won.” How do we “claim the victory that Jesus won?”
Habakkuk tells us that the righteous live by faithfulness: Faithfulness to God and others, even amid violence and corruption. A life faithful to God and others is not about arrogance, deception, and being proud and boastful about having more than one’s fair share. A life faithful to God and others is about “honesty and doing the right things” (CEB Study Bible).
