"For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)
More than once, for various reasons, I have had a flight delay. The flight was not cancelled, so it was going to leave the airport and arrive at the planned destination, but it was leaving later than expected. While I am never thrilled to have a flight delay, I do not get into a panic that I will never get to my desired destination, I know that what is happening is only a delay in my eventual arrival. Whenever this happens, I do what I can to make the best of the extra time I have, to keep the right focus, and be productive as possible in some way while I wait.
When things are delayed, and we do not get what we want when we want it, we can become concerned, frustrated, and even give up on ever getting what we want. In our world today, so many things can happen so fast that when things do not happen quickly, we can become upset and wonder what is going wrong. But while something may be delayed, it does not mean that what we are waiting for is not coming, it is just going to get to us later than we had planned and would have liked to have had it.
There can be times in our Christian life when things do not happen as soon as we would like them to, but that does not mean that it will not happen. In Habakkuk 2:3, God told Habakkuk that even though the vision might tarry, or be delayed, it would come. Just because something does not happen in our time frame does not mean that it will not happen. What God has promised us may take longer to get to us than we would like, but we can be sure that God's plan and purpose for our life will come to pass as we follow His direction and act in faith on His Word.
