Habakkuk 2:3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed time;…though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.”

Let’s just skip right to the punch line and then track back. Our God is always in control and always on time. Though we waiver, God is still there waiting to answer our cries. Many times, the pain comes in the wait. We find ourselves asking, “Why me?, Why this?”. In our hearts, we know we must endure and continue our journey.

Habakkuk 2:1 reminds us submit our request to the Lord, then wait. “I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how He will answer my complaint.”

Although it is difficult, we all face times that we must wait on the Lord. We are impatient. We want it now. Just like a kid wanting candy, we want that job promotion, that new car, a friend to be well, a friendship to be mended, financial stability….the list goes on. God hears our cries, but sometimes the answer is WAIT.

I know, not what any of us want to hear.

When the waiting is hard, I remind myself that God always comes through. I look back at the miracles of my life, the blessings I never thought would occur and yet they did.

Have you thought about that? Can you think of times when God answered your prayers? The real question is, was it as you planned or did God show up and exceed your expectations? For me, it’s always the later. When I find those times where I struggled to wait, the times where I couldn’t withstand anymore; the times where I finally gave it to God, our God showed up. Not only did He show up, but He showed out!

Many times the wait is hard. Many times we can’t see that the best is yet to come. We can’t see God’s plan, but I am certain that it is better than we ever imagined!

Habakkuk 2:3 “…if it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”

It will happen, but it will be in God’s time.

I hope this encourages you today!

God Bless,
