They soon forget his works; they
waited not for his counsel:--Psalm 106:13(KJV)
First of all, let us start with prophet
Habakkuk. This prophet we are talking about was so perplexed and impatient. Habakkuk
complained to God about the Israelite (Habakkuk 1:2-4). After his complain, the
Lord responded by saying that He would use the Babylonians to scourge them
(Habakkuk 1:5-11). Then the prophet raised a new problem-Babylon was more wicked
than Israel (Habakkuk 1:12-17). Thought he was frustrated, Habakkuk didn't act
rashly. Instead, he showed reverence for God by waiting for Him to make things
clear. When God spoke to him the answer. He commanded him to proclaim it speedily.
But He also told Habakkuk that he would have to wait before seeing all the wrong
made right. This delay was a trying experience for Habakkuk, but at last, the
answer eventually came and at just the right time.
When waiting for God to work, we must exercise
patience and faith, leaving matters in His hands. God will reward us for our patience-but
in His own good time, And God's time is the best!
