God's agenda

Have you thought lately about what Habakkuk has to say for a consumeristic culture? Me either, until reading Jared Wilson's thoughts on Habakkuk 2:20:

God has an agenda and it is not only not ours, it frequently and constantly interferes with and opposes ours. We are used to thinking in terms of God helping us in our life, that our life is "our story" and we invite God to participate in it, and that is so bass ackwards. It is God's story, God's world, God's life, and we get to participate in it.

Amen. Jared also gives a memorable precis of Habakkuk's conversation with God.
