Delay is not Denial from God The Bible is filled with examples of how God uses a long process to develop character, especially in leaders. He took eighty years to prepare Moses, including forty in the wilderness. For 14,600 days Moses kept waiting and wondering, Is it time yet? But God kept saying, Not yet. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process. Dont get discouraged. When Habakkuk became depressed because he didnt think God was acting quickly enough, God had this to 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 LB) Remember how far youve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. God isnt finished with you so keep moving forward. Even the snail reached the ark by persevering! Top of the morning everyone.
