Wait For It

Wait For It by Kirk Hunt

For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV

Wait for it. Whatever “it” is, it is coming. Try not to fidget.

Perhaps it is a long promised victory. Maybe it is a spiritual breakthrough. It could be the salvation of a wayward, but beloved soul. Whatever it is, that vision burns within your heart and mind.

“Wait for it” is easily said. “Wait for it” is not easily lived. Patience and obedience requires more spiritual steel and Godly strength than you think. Or wanted.

One problem is our human sense of events and circumstances. We do not have God’s eternal viewpoint. You do not see with God’s omniscient sight. This digital society’s obsession with speed does not help.

The appointed time makes perfect sense in God’s order of events. The threads of your destiny, and so many others, are being woven in the loom of God’s purpose. Eternal blessings take a little longer, but will satisfy when they arrive. Stay the course.

Wait for God’s timing. It will be worth it. You will understand why it took so long, when it arrives. Then again, in that moment of joy and wonder, you may no concern yourself with timing.

Of course, the hard work of your circumstances continue. Your yearning heart and seeking mind are eager for the conclusion. Your spirit is ready for fulfillment.

Wait for it. God promised it. It will arrive. Do not squirm.

Think: God’s promises will arrive.

Pray: “Lord, help me wait for Your promises.”

Your Gift Makes Room

Your Gift Makes Room by Kirk Hunt

A man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men.

Proverbs 18:16

The gift that God gave you will make room for you. Yes, you first have to take it out of the box, and use it. You must also make sure you are using it for God’s purposes, and in a Godly manner. Your gift, not sharp elbows, will then make room for you.

The insidious corruption contained within hustle culture is the denial of God’s role in the affairs of men in women. Energetic people are especially prone to taking on too much responsibility. Too often, we think our elbows can manipulate earth, and too often heaven, to achieve our personal goals.

It is not just unchecked ambition that can drive us to ungodly acts. Ungodly expectations can also poison our actions. Lust and greed will lead you to the wrong people and miserable places. The space God intends for you is a better and more satisfying than you can imagine.

Stop and catch your breath. Consider that your God is the absolute master of heaven, earth, time and space. If He wants you to have it, you will. Work hard, but pull in your elbows.

Keep in mind He commands us to work, but He also promises He will pay. Do your part and He will do His. Use your God-given gift(s) for His purposes and in His manner. The gift, not sharp elbows, will deliver you to the right faces and spaces.

Think: Am I allowing God’s gift to take me places, or my lust and greed?

Pray: “Lord, guide me to use Your gift, Your way.”
