“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay long. Habakkuk 2:3
We must continue to realize that we are a very small part of a big picture and because of that fact, we must trust Him in all things and that He has everyone’s best interest in mind.
King David said it best in Psalm 31:14-15. “But as for me, I trust in Thee, O Lord. I say, Thou art my God. My times are in Thy hand,”
Like it or not, trusting is a relaxed posture, and to truly do it best we have to rest in Him, and give up the temptation of thinking that we must through strife and struggle force His will. It is ok to struggle against darkness, but we must be careful not to be tricked into striving against God because things haven’t happened the way we wanted.
One thing I have learned from waiting in lines in the super market, at sporting events, or in traffic is that if I know I am going to have to wait anyway, why not figure out a way to enjoy it. I can either wait there and be angry, or I can be there and be happy. Happy or angry doesn’t make the line go faster, or the traffic pick up, but in the process at least I am not making my life shorter.
As Paul said, “And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.” Galatians 6:9
So…relax, and trust Him!
