When life doesn't make sense, and God is seemingly silent, it is good to adopt the wait and see approach. The prophet Habbakuk did this during difficult times. He stood at his watchpost and waited for God's answer.
I will take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
Habbakuk 2:1
