How many of us have ever prayed along the lines of: Lord, fill me with Your patience. NOW? I think we all have in one form or another. We have a dream, a desire, a goal and it feels like it’s never going to happen.
There
is a scene in Star Wars, Episode IV, where Luke is attacking the Death Star,
about to drop a bomb down a chute to the core of the weapon. His wing commander
tells him, “Wait for it. Wait for it.
Did
you know the Lord tells us basically the same thing? In Habakkuk 2:2 – 3 (NLT)
the prophet writes:
Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a
runner can carry the correct message to others. 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.
