"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay" Habakkuk 2:3 (NIV).
God's promises can be trusted; they are infallible. Time and time again, Scripture tells us to wait on the Lord, but we are impatient people who become anxious if nothing is happening. Many a punishment we give children, for misbehavior, is timeout. They have to sit by themselves with no activity. Children would rather have a spanking than to be put in timeout. However, God is not punishing us. He wants us to rely on Him, trust Him and be still. Be still! Sounds so elementary; anyone can be still, right? Have you ever made a decision without praying about it? Maybe you thought that particular opportunity would never happen again. Or you may devise your own plans, thinking time is running out, and you're moving on. We may be settling for what we think is a good choice, but not the best choice God had in store for us. Stop dancing out in front of God like you know the way. He knows the plan He has for you. Be still: wait for it.
