It is, of course, more than a word. Sure, you can look it up in the dictionary or read Dynamics of Faith. But to see a living faith, look to people to get your definitions. Look to someone like Habakkuk. He might look from his watchpost at our world today and say, “This seems familiar to me. I saw then what you’re seeing now: strife and contention, the law ignored and justice in short supply.” To experience an example of faith, I look to one like Habakkuk—that’s what honoring the cloud of witnesses is all about. Faith is seen in a variety of characters and defined with a variety of postures. One equivalent expression for faith is “waiting for it.” May we wait for it with the same assurance Habakkuk was given: “It will surely come.” Join us for Meeting on Monday!
