I am preaching this Sunday on "God's Timing"
God is never late, He is always on time, with the fulfillment of His purposes, for all man-kind, and for us. The bringing His Son into the world is a testimony to that.
The prophet Habakkuk was waiting to give the revelation concerning God's use of the nation of Babylon to punish Israel for their rebellion and disobedience. How God would do this, would be known at "an appointed time" And the prophet is told to "wait for it."
I along with so many, are impatient. We want answers now, we want results now, and we build up such anxiety in not knowing, that it about does us in. Why can't we wait for God"s revelations to us? Why are we so impatient?
I believe that we fail to have a trust in the God who made us, and knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows our situations better than we know them. To think that He is not aware of the happenings in our lives, is quite the delusion. He knows!
And even though it is painful to wait. Know this, that at the right time, we will know, we will have an answer, even if that answer is a "NO" God will deliver us, at the time that fulfills His purposes for our lives, "Though His revelation to us tarries, "wait for it." GP
