WHEN GOD SAYS WAIT Even as you make a decision to follow the dream God places in your heart, you can expect a delay. God will not fulfill your dream immediately because this is another step toward building your faith. In Habakkuk 2, God says, These things I plan wont happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. When delay comes to your dreams, youll most likely start asking the question, When, Lord? When will You answer my prayer? And we hate to wait. We dont like to wait in a doctors office, or in traffic gridlocks, or at restaurants, or for Christmas presents, or for anything else. But what we hate worst of all is waiting on God. We all have to go through these waiting periods. Even Jesus waited for thirty years in the carpenters shop before setting out on his public ministry. Why do we wait? It teaches us to trust in God. We learn that His timing is perfect. One of the facts we have to learn is this: Gods delay never destroys His purpose. A delay is not a denial. Children must learn the difference between no and not yet, and so must we. Many times we think God is saying, No, but He is only saying, Not yet.
