Waiting

2 Then the Lord said to me,
“Write my answer plainly on tablets,
so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
3 This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
4 “Look at the proud!
They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked.
But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to GOD

- Habakkuk 2:2-4

Are we living the best life we could possibly dream of? Is there not anything else in life to hope for? Of course there is! Somehow most of us are still waiting for something, a plan to take place, a goal to achieve, a dream to happen. While some of us are working towards the plans we have made for our lives, most of us are waiting for something that we have been asking GOD in prayer. Our hopes and dreams are yet to be fulfilled. 

What are the dreams of your heart? Better yet what are those that GOD has promised to you? GOD says to write them on paper, modern for tablet, or you can indeed write them on your computers, tablets or smartphone, to remind you of HIS words. Humans are frail and we easily forget the many things that we should remember, especially the promises of GOD in our lives. Reminding ourselves of GOD's word and promises for us enables us to stay focused on why we are where we are in the first place. It's very easy to get off track, easy to get discouraged and lose heart on doing the things we started to do because of the harships that come our way. It doesn't mean it's gonna be easy even when we know we are following GOD and we are blessed by GOD. If you are facing a tough road right now, hold on! GOD says His promises may seem slow in coming to pass, it may take a while BUT it will surely happen so wait and don't get out of track, stay there, stand in faith. Remember what you have received from GOD in the first place. HE will not be late, HE will come thru for you and everything will take place according to GOD's perfect time.

Don't hope in what people can offer, don't hope on riches, don't hope on anything else but on GOD alone. Everything in this world will fail you if you hold on to it. Only GOD and HIS word can truly exceed your expectations. Others may put their hope on their money or wealth, their talents, their knowledge, their capabilities, their friends, their system, their allies and whatever it is that they are boasting in their hearts will make their plans succeed. But now this, if you hope on anything else but GOD, it will fail. But if you hope in the LORD, then you are called righteous by GOD. Because this is how HIS faithful followers live, they live by faith, they live by hoping and trusting in the invisible GOD who will carry them through whatever situation they are struggling with and make impossible things become miraculously possible!
