The righteous live by faith

What have you gained by worshipping all of your man-made idols? The prophet Habakkuk asks this in his book ch2. Habakkuk struggles with a similar question of other prophets, "How is it that the wicked prosper?". God assures Habakkuk that the wicked will be dealt with, in God's way on God's time. God reminds Habakkuk in ch2:4 that the righteous will live by faith. Are we doing that today? Or is faith something we merely reserve for a few hours on Sunday? I too struggle to rest on God's timing. I am impatient, wanting action. Perhaps God is wanting a period of rest or reflection. The wicked do not prosper, there is always more to conquer. It is never satisfying.
