Delay is not Denial from God The Bible is filled w/examples of how God uses a long process 2 develop character, especially in leaders. He took 80 yrs 2 prepare Moses, including 40 in the wilderness. For 14,600 days Moses kept waiting & wondering, Is it time yet? But God kept saying, Not yet. Great souls r grown thru struggles & storms & seasons of suffering. Be patient w/the process. Dont get discouraged. When Habakkuk became depressed b/c he didnt think God was acting quickly enough, God had this 2 say: These things I plan wont 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) Remember how far uve come, not just how far u have 2 go. U r not where u want 2 be, but neither r u where u used 2 be. God isnt finished w/u so keep moving forward. Even the snail reached the ark by persevering!
