O LORD, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” And You will not save. (Habakkuk 1: 2 )

When we want something so much, we always look forward to receiving it soon;  but sometimes we don’t remember that God does everything at the right time. Many many times people lose their blessings because they don’t know how to wait for them.

When we seek God’s help for something particular, we want what we asked for to be answered immediately. But that’s just not how it works. We have to know that there is a right time for things to happen in our lives.

God knows very well when’s the right time to do something in our life. Just because it is taking a while to happen doesn’t mean we should give up and seek another way to achieve that and then think that God does not care about us or that He has forgotten us. God sometimes does this to see how far the faith of the person will go and how long he can wait and persevere, and understand that if it did not happen yet, it’s because it was not the right time yet, and God is still preparing even greater things than what they asked for.

God always listens, but He knows the right time to act and execute His righteousness. There is an opportune time, a favorable moment for God to manifest in the situations that need His help. The key is to submit to FAITH. On the Altar is where God manifests himself and everything is solved. It is on the Altar that we reach the answers to what we need. It may seem time-consuming because of our own anxiety and despair, caused by the current situation, but He quickly makes justice for his chosen ones, those in faith.

And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?

I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18: 7-8)

May the God of the Bible Bless You
