Your Appointed Time
 
Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT) The vision is for a future time...If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
 
This is your appointed time to be here in the earth, and to live a life that promotes the Kingdom of God. How God intends for you to do that is as unique as you are. Wherever you live, whatever you do – it doesn’t matter. You are here now. You are God’s vision for this time. Grab hold of your faith in God, and trust Him with His plans for you. Does it seem as if God is taking too long? I want you to read Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. Think about how God fulfilled the appointed time for the coming of the Messiah. Consider all of the generations that had to have their appointed time and purpose before Jesus could come to earth the first time. Just like then – your generation, my generation, and generations still to come have our appointed times, too – before Jesus will return again. Tell me, what are you going to believe for yourself in this – your appointed time?
