“WAIT FOR IT!”

Galatians 4:4 (KJV)

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

For the vision is yet for an appointed time,

But at the end it shall speak, and not lie:

Though it tarry, wait for it;

Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

God has given you a dream and a vison. It will be fulfilled if you believe in it and wait for it and do all you can do toward it!

We have been hearing a lot about the things God has placed us on earth to do! Pastor has been preaching about the dreams in our heart and I wrote last week about dreams and vision we felt had died but were very much alive.

I want to encourage those of you today who are weary of waiting and have given up and decided it will never happen.

Galatians 4 tells us Jesus came in the fulness of time. The Jews had waited 400 years for the messiah that the Old Testament prophets said would come as the deliverer.

In the fulness of time it happened but those who knew the scriptures best, did not recognize the Messiah in their midst because Jesus did not fit their preconceived picture of the Messiah.

I want to encourage each of you to be spiritually aware of the things and people God places in your life. Be aware of the opportunities in front of you. The things, people, and opportunities that are around us may not fit our preconceived idea of how the dreams and visons in our heart will happen but may truly be part of the dreams and visons!

But, what if? What if we are so geared toward our preconceived idea that we miss the fulness of time in our lives?

Do we miss the opportunity to share Jesus with a friend or coworker because we are so set on sharing Jesus to a large congregation?

Do we miss the Blessing of visiting and praying for a sick friend because we are looking for the big healing ministry?

Most of the Jewish nation rejected Jesus because they thought the Messiah was going to come and overthrow Rome and sit on the throne and rule!

Jesus is going to come and reign over all the earth, but the first time He came was to reign in people’s hearts and to pay the price to reign in our hearts.

Are you discouraged, maybe think that vison or dream is not from the Lord?

Look at the Habakkuk 2:3 scripture. The vison is for a certain time. Even if it tarries, wait for it.

We are like little children when it comes to waiting. Most of us are not very good at waiting for anything.

Have you ever stood by the microwave, fidgeting while two minutes pass? Have you ever sat at a red light and patted the steering wheel impatiently!

A child wants it “right now” and we do also!

But notice in the scripture from Habakkuk it tells us it will surely come and not tarry.

Habakkuk says though it tarries wait for it and then he says it will come and not tarry. He is saying that when it tarries, when it is slow wait, but in the fulness of time it will not tarry. It will happen in God’s timing if we trust Him and do what we can for Him each day!

But may we not get hung up on our preconceived ideas of how things will happen. Trust His nature and His timing! The visons and dreams may be slow coming but wait for them!

In the fulness of time, God worked! He will do it for you!

Father, thank you for being on time, every time, and you know the plans you have for each of us. Touch us each deep inside and show us the things you have put us on earth to do and then help us to understand as we trust you, in the fulness of time, you will bring it to pass. In Jesus name I pray this! Amen!

Though it tarries wait for it!

Love, MeMaw
