If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.
Habakkuk 2:3b
Lord,
What You reveal as Your will seems so far off in this wicked day. I believe Your kingdom is coming. I believe Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven. And yet I can stumble if I look at how much You are resisted and mocked here and now. It is disheartening.
“For still the vision awaits its appointed time,” You say. I believe You and trust. “It hastens to the end — it will not lie,” You promise. I know that from Your eternal perspective these statements are absolutely certain.
And as You comforted Your prophet so long ago, now You console me. It DOES seem slow. So I will wait on You. It WILL surely come to pass. Nothing is delaying Your rule. I still wait. I will silence my complaint. I will trust in You. “Maranatha, Lord Jesus!”
Amen
