Day 4 - The Next Step

When you mention trust, I guarantee that waiting is not too far away.  Waiting is one of the hardest things to do, especially if things don't seem to be going the way you think they should.

So, I asked God, when will things change? Why are things not as they should be? He responded with words that more than cover the issue:

"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false.  Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and not delay." Habakkuk 2:3

Isn't that amazing? I mean, how wonderful that it does not stop at waiting - that there is promise attached to it! God is faithful even within our impatience or disheartening.

How did I hear this?  I will tell you.  I did not hear this entire verse in my head.  In fact, all I heard was "wait" and the idea that He "will do more than what is expected" and for some reason the book of Habakkuk popped in my head as a place that talks about those themes (mostly because of chapter 1 verse 5, but I came accross chapter 2 and this JUMPED out of the page instantly - and rightly so!). I am so thankful that He seeks to encourage me anytime I have a question - especially those seemingly unanswerable ones.  Men doesn't have the answers, but God seems to have more than enough - even before we are able to complete our question.

This was my conversation with God today.  Does this encourage you? Is he speaking to you today?
