HOLD ON TO THE VISION

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. 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.”

Habakkuk 2:2-3

Obstacles will arise, but we must hold on to the vision that God has given us and believe that it will come to pass in its appointed time. God gives us a vision to persevere through our setbacks. Sometimes, God gives a vision before trials and tests happen. God gives us a vision so that we know where we are running to. Our dark valleys can make us forget what the end journey will look like. It is during these moments that we must hold on to the vision God has given to us.

God shows us a glimpse of what is to come so that we will continue to walk by faith and not give in to discouragement. We can only receive God’s promises if we choose to persevere. During times of testing, it can be easy for us to give up and turn away from God. However, we must fall on God and allow His strength to carry us through.

God gives us a vision of what is to come so that we can persevere. Though our present circumstances may give us a million reasons to not believe in the vision, we must continue to move forward in faith and remember that God always keeps His promises. We live in a society where we want everything to happen instantly. However, God’s ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). God cares about our hearts and sees things that we cannot see. His ways are always done in ways we would never expect, and His timing will not always match our own.  Know that His timing is the best and that He will do what He promises.
