"These things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" Habakkuk 2:3 (LB)
Since my last post I have been asking God to show me His purpose. In todays devotional from Rick Warren he uses the above scripture reference and says the following:
"The Bible is filled with examples of how God uses a long process to develop character, especially in leaders. He took eighty years to prepare Moses, including forty in the wilderness. For 14,600 days Moses kept waiting and wondering, "Is it time yet?" But God kept saying, "Not yet."
That brings me great comfort because there are many times I think I may not be doing something "right" to hear from God. I need to spend some time looking back at what He has accomplished in my life and take comfort that He has been my protector, provider, comforter, healer and Lord. Thank you Jesus that You know me better than I know myself.
If you are following in the Lords steps, I pray you will hang on, relax and continue to stay in His Word, He will reveal His purpose for you!
If you haven't read "The Purpose Driven Life" in awhile, you might want to dust it off and read it again. It's taking me alot longer this round of reading because I want to absorb all He has for me.
Blessings to You!
