“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay long.” (Habakkuk 2:3)
Backstory
In this broadcast I share the importance of hearing from the Lord. I also discuss having faith in the unseen things to come. I entered full-time ministry in 1995. My journey into the prophetic unfolded beginning around 2004 with Scriptures from Habakkuk 2:1-4:
“Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.”
Vision: in this context is not goals or plans. It is rather divine inspiration, illumination, and revelation. It also involves prophetic insight into God’s will, purposes, and intent for His Church.
The prophet Habakkuk initiated a conversation with God based on his distress about God’s “inaction” in the world. The way he described Judah indicates a low time in its history (Hab. 1:6; 2:1; 3:16).
He reminds us that while God seem silent and uninvolved in our world, He always has a plan. He will deal with evil. Justice is always worked out by Him. . . eventually. Habakkuk’s example encourages us to wait on the Lord. We should expect that God will indeed work out all things for our good (Rom. 8:28).
I pray the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, gives you a spirit of wisdom. I also pray for revelation as you come to know him.
The vision is for an appointed time … wait for it!
