In Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV), God says,
The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
We all experience those times when we feel like we can't "hear" God. We all have times when our prayers feel like they're evaporating over our heads, never reaching an audience, and never receiving a response. What is taking God so long?
But, of course, we must realize that God does not operate according to our humanly concepts of space and time. As stated in Psalm 40:3 (KJV),
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
And again, in Peter 3:8 (KJV),
One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Back to Habakkuk, let us pay close attention when God says, "Wait for it; because it will surely come." Let us pray for the faith necessary to believe that statement. And let us wait on God.
