When Waiting Seems Forever

Habakkuk 2-Part 4

LET IT GLOW

Where are you Lord? How long must this go on? The prophet asked, God spoke, he questioned, and then waited for God to answer.

Swindoll tells us to have faith in our Sovereign God, since He:

1. Is able, and I am not;
2. knows what is best, and I do not;
3. sees the end from the beginning, I cannot;
4. should have His way in this, I should not.
5. must be glorified through this, I must not.

We need to let God be God, stand back and wait for God to work.

LET IT GROW

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (2:3)

 Habakkuk was told to write down the vision which the Lord gave him. Then when one read it, they were to run with joy to give the message throughout the land of Judah. The Chaldeans would be destroyed. they were to wait for fulfillment of the Lord's Word.

God will fulfill His Word to us as completely as He did concerning Habakkuk and the Jews. The revelation was for a future time. Jesus Christ said He would return to earth and serve as King. May we be found faithful in the waiting. Sometimes the waiting seems to be too long for us, even forever. But it will come.

LET IT GO

Keep praying, keep believing, keep trusting in Jesus. 

Our Sovereign Lord has this, your this and my this.

God's plans are perfect and so is His timing.
