Why Do We Wait?


When delay comes to your dreams, you’ll most likely start asking the question, “When, Lord? When are you going to answer my prayer?” 

Even as you make a decision to follow the dream God places in your heart, you can expect a delay.  God will not fulfill your dream immediately, because this is another step toward building your faith.
We all have to go through these waiting periods. Even Jesus waited for 30 years in the carpenter’s shop before setting out on his public ministry.
Why do we wait? It teaches us to trust in God. We learn that his timing is perfect. One of the facts we have to learn is this: God’s delay never destroys His purpose.
A delay is not a denial.  Children must learn the difference between “no” and “not yet,” and so must we. Many times we think God is saying, “No,” but he is really saying, “Not yet.”   ~ Rick Warren Ministries

 
 
Habakkuk 2:3  New Living Translation (NLT)
 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.
