"Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay." Habakkuk 2: 2-3
I generally hate to wait! Sometimes I can deal with it, but I mostly want to get moving, get on with the task, get it done! Of course, our society doesn’t help with this issue; as we expect to have instant everything, and when we (yes also Vernon T.) can’t have it, we wonder why.
However, spiritual writers and the scriptures tell us that following the spiritual pilgrimage comes without a clock or stop watch. We are told to wait for God’s vision, even when we can’t see what we are waiting for. In my own journey that has been one of the more challenging aspects of this process.
When you have moments of doubt, that things are not going fast enough, try to remember that God’s time frame isn’t ours and the vision comes at the Lord’s appointed time. Blessings on your waiting periods! Peace, Vernon T.
