In the words of Shawn Spencer, my favorite TV detective (currently): “Wait for iiiiiitttttt.”
But waiting is such an awful thought! We complain and we want an answer… NOW.
We ask something from God and we want it… NOW.
Habakkuk was an impatient prophet. God did answer, just not in a way Habakkuk liked.
2 Then the Lord replied:
“Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald[b] may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it[c] will certainly come
and will not delay. (Hab. 2:2-3, NIV)
We need to learn to hear God and then wait for his timing. His clock is just not our time zone.
