We often talk about Habakkuk 2:2, about writing the vision, but I hardly hear people talking about verse 3 in that same chapter. Verse 3 tells us although we are to write the vision, guess what else goes with that? That the vision make not come over night. It may be slow as a tortoise but remember, the tortoise eventually beat the hare. Slow and steady wins, so you'll get there.
Specifically, Habakkuk 2:3 says, "For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." You see it for yourself. The vision is still coming, but only when God sees fit and He's a man that He does not lie, ever. So yes, it may seem it's moving in slow motion, but it will come and not a minute too late. Thus, we have to use our faith to get us there and if we grow weary to the point where we give up, we may as well forget about achieving it. I've made the mistake of trying to rush God and let me tell you it doesn't work. It's not worth it. I'm not making that mistake again. I'm speaking victory over my life. That mistake is too painful.
So I want to encourage you not to abort the mission and the vision God has you on. Stay with it and keep doing what you do every day to get closer to it. Remember it's ok to value the small beginnings, because small steps help build tough and reliable foundations. You'll get there.
