Waiting

“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 will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3). If I have learned one thing in ministry, it is that most God dreams take longer than we think, cost more than we ever thought we would have to pay, and are far more painful to birth than we ever imagined. Nothing great happens overnight. If you have found yourself in this place, know this: God has a specific purpose and place for you. There are no throwaway runners, lanes, legs or positions in God’s divine relay. Every runner is important. Every baton, every lane, every position and every leg of the race is important. God not only has a place for each one of us, He also has perfect timing when it comes to moving us from one position to the next. Stay faithful in your pursuit of God and learn to embrace your place now; then His work in and through you will be UNSTOPPABLE! God is preparing you for the future He has planned, and it will happen perfectly in His timing.
