Wait for it ... Habakkuk

Habakkuk 2:3

“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;

It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail.

Though it tarries, wait for it;

For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

The fact that God has promised His people Israel in this little book that He would judge their earth should not be a surprise.   God promised them from the beginning, in Deuteronomy 28 and 29 that He would bless them if they obeyed and He would curse them if they disobeyed.   This was known to them all as, the Blessings and the Cursings.  Yet, this judgement spoken about in Habakkuk is somehow strange to them.  They had thought, assuming, that God was not going to keep His word.   The mistakenly had thought that God's delay was God's forgetting.   It is important for us to avoid the same mistake.  Though He "tarries" we should "wait for it."  God is super patience.   He is not quick on the trigger as He wants others to come to Christ.  He wants people to repent.   Whereas we give up on others in a blink of an eye, it sometimes looks like God has closed His eyes.   But, He hasn't.   Wait for it!!   God will complete all His judgements.   We ought not to act as though God has turned a blind eye toward us.  Wait for it!!!   He will complete His judgement on those who disobey.
