When God Says Wait,
Even as you decide to follow the dream God places in your
heart, you can expect a delay.
God will not fulfil
your dream immediately because this is another step toward building your faith.
In
Habakkuk 2, God says, “These things I plan”
It won’t happen immediately.
Slowly, steadily,
indeed, the time approaches when the vision will
be fulfilled.
When delay comes to your dreams,
you’ll most likely start asking the question
When, Lord?
When are you going to answer my
prayer?
We absolutely despise waiting!
We don’t like to
wait in a doctor’s office, or traffic jams, or at
restaurants, or for Christmas presents, or
anything else.
But what we hate, worst of all is
waiting on God.
We all have to go through these
waiting periods.
Even Jesus waited thirty
years in the carpenter’s shop before starting his public ministry.
Why do we wait?
It
teaches us to trust in God.
We learn that his
The timing is perfect.
One of the facts we have to
learn is this: God’s delay never destroys his
purpose.
A delay is not a denial.
Children must
learn the difference between “no” and “not yet ”
And so must we.
We often think God is
saying, “No,” but he is saying, “Not yet.”
