HAbakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. God replies that Habakkuk is to wait for the appointed time. What God did not mention is that the appointed time would take six decades creating a long gap between promise and fulfillment. Are you wrestling in prayer as you wait for God’s promises…
