What is visionary patience?
The best protest is not only countercultural, it also gives society a better vision for itself and for the future. That is the way of the prophets: they began in judgment but ended in hope for change--and they staked their lives on the hope of these visions without seeing them fulfilled.
A deep yearning for God's kingdom drives us to pursue justice and righteousness. Will we see the fruit of this hope and change in our lifetimes? God knows.
God, give Sarah a deep yearning to see your Kingdom come, and give her wisdom to act on the better protest.
