The Long Wait for Justice - Progressive (Isaiah 40:31)
The Civil Rights Movement required decades of waiting—not passive waiting, but active, hopeful, persistent waiting. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of "the fierce urgency of now," but also of trusting God's timing. Rosa Parks waited years after her famous bus arrest before seeing full integration. John Lewis was beaten on Bloody Sunday but lived to see a Black president. "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength." Justice workers run and grow weary; the long arc bends slowly. Waiting on God isn't giving up—it's trusting the arc.
