Wait For It, It's Coming

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.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" and Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
