Habakkuk 2:15-16 | You Will Also Drink

Just one more. They can handle it. I don't mean a glass. I mean the way we talk people into carrying what we won't put down. Somebody pours. Somebody gets impaired. Somebody watches. And the whole arrangement is for the pourer's benefit, not the neighbor's.

In ministry clothes that can look quieter than anyone wants to admit. You keep a volunteer in a role they already told you is costing their home. You push a musician into a schedule they can't sustain, because the set needs them and you've decided their no is negotiable. Verse sixteen turns the cup around. Not as karma. As exposure. The thing you were protecting by using them becomes the thing that gets uncovered.

Anchored in Habakkuk 2:15-16. Part of The Waiting Season, a walk through the three chapters of Habakkuk.
