WHAT TO DO WHEN THE VISION DELAYS.

Habakkuk 2:3 “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.”

It is very easy for discouragement to set in in out heart when we have waited for the fulfilment of our dreams for long. This is the end of February 2022 and nothing seems to have been accomplished so far. This is when many people abandoned their goals and objectives of the year. There is no reason to despair and to panic. The dream or vision is for an appointed time.

God makes everything good and beautiful in its time and season.
What to do when the vision tarries:

(1) Keep the vision or the dream alive in your heart and in your dream book.

God said to Habakkuk, “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets” Keep looking at it and working on it. The vision is yet for an appointed time. But at the end it will speak, and it will lie. Visions always speak at the end and not at the beginning.
If you had a dream to become a medical doctor. It does not show the first year when you are in class one. Even when you reach Up Sixth after many years, it does not still show. Until you go through the medical school and graduate, the dream speaks at the end. So, what do you do secondly?

(2) Wait for it.

God said to Habakkuk, “Though it tarries, wait for it.” Because it will surely come, It will not fail. God is the one saying this to you. Wait for it. Abraham waited for 25 years. Moses waited for 40 years. Elizabeth waited for many years and it came to past. God has you in His agenda. Lastly,

(3) Keep rejoice in Lord.

Habakkuk the prophets looked at the economic and social condition of the country and there was no hope. He looked at his own businesses and investments, and they were not flourishing. But when he looked up to God, there was hope.

He then said to himself in Habakkuk 3:17-19 “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls; yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.”

It takes strong faith in God to do that. You must keep on rejoicing and celebrating God even when nothing seems to be working because He is your the God of your salvation; He is your strength and your hope.

In this new month coming, I see God making your feet like deer’s feet, and He will make you walk on your high hills. Praise the Lord.
