impinged

The Lord answers Habakkuk’s complaint. He tells him to write it down and to send it out among the people. The answer: Justice will be done, evil will not go unpunished, God is in control. He also answers the question of when - “Later”. The Lord says these things will happen and they need only to have patience. This is the lesson I’ve had to learn in my own life. I can’t always see what God is doing because I can only see what is happening right in front of me right now. I need to have patience not because God moves so slow or because God likes to torture me, but because God is doing a great work and I’m the one who learns so slowly.

It took me many years and many heartaches to get to where I am today. I believe this is where he wanted me to be all along. But I have been a slow learner. I had to continually repeat the same pain, learning a little more each time, until I finally learned the lesson. And what was that lesson? Trust God with everything and in everything.
