Habakkuk 2:3 | Though It Takes Time

If you've ever been told the conversation about your role is coming, and then watched it move, you know what this verse costs.

Habakkuk 2:3 says two things in one breath: though it takes time, wait for it, and it won't delay. The word that resolves them is appointed. The vision has a time, God set it, and it's only late against your clock. Ryan tells the story of a youth worship leader he let run for a year without guardrails, who worked himself into a small stipend and then into a whole position that nobody had the budget for. He was hurrying toward an end that wasn't on anybody's calendar. You do the job at the pace the job needs, and you let the date be God's, because you were never holding it anyway.

Anchored in Habakkuk 2:3. Part of The Waiting Season, a walk through the three chapters of Habakkuk.
