Your Delay Is Not Denial


Your Delay Is Not Denial

Trusting God in the Waiting Season

📖 Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) – “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.”

Have you ever felt like God was taking too long?

You pray.
You believe.
You wait.
And still… it feels like nothing is moving.

It’s easy to get discouraged in seasons of delay — especially when others around you seem to be walking into their breakthroughs while you’re stuck wondering “When is it my turn?” But the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3 brings comfort and clarity:

For the vision is yet for an appointed time...

That means: God hasn’t forgotten. The promise, the vision, the direction — whatever He placed in your heart — is still alive. But it’s attached to a divine appointment. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t.

💭 What Is the “Vision”?

In Habakkuk’s time, the vision referred to a revelation from God about His justice and His future plans for the nation. Today, that same principle applies to the promises God speaks into your life — whether it’s healing, restoration, a calling, a business, a ministry, a relationship, or peace in the middle of chaos.

 The vision is the promise of what's to come, and God says it will speak.

⏳ Why Do Delays Happen?

Sometimes, the delay is for preparation.
Other times, it’s protection.
And often, it’s because God is still arranging the details behind the scenes.

We live in a “now” culture — instant answers, instant updates, instant results. But God’s timing is not like ours. He moves in seasons, not seconds.
And when He moves, He makes everything beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

🌱 What to Do While You Wait

If you're in a waiting season, here's what you can do:

  • Keep praying — prayer is not passive, it’s powerful.

  • Keep moving — serve, love, and grow where you are now.

  • Keep trusting — God sees what you can’t see.

  • Keep writing the vision — just like Habakkuk did (Hab. 2:2) 

Delay isn’t the end — it’s just the in-between.

  • The vision is maturing.
  • You are maturing. 
  • And when it comes, it will not be late. 
🙌 A Word of Encouragement

If you’re reading this today and feeling forgotten… please hear this:

  • Your waiting is not wasted.
  • Your faith is not in vain.
  • Your promise still stands.

God is never late.
He’s never out of options.
And when the vision finally speaks, it will tell the story of a God who was working behind the scenes the whole time.

So hold on a little longer.
You’re not being denied — you’re being prepared for destiny.

✨ Final Thoughts

  1. Write the vision.
  2. Speak the promise.
  3. Walk by faith.
  4. And wait in hope.

Because what God spoke — will surely come. 💛

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God Recently, I had a dream that I believe holds a significant message  not only for myself but for many others. I feel led to share this dream with you, as I believe it serves as a spiritual wake up call–a reminder of the urgency of walking in the truth and seeking the Kingdom of God. In this dream, I found myself in a large classroom filled with 30 or more adults. The atmosphere was serious, almost as if everyone was waiting for something important to happen. At the front of the classroom, there was a door that led to a small, enclosed room. I stepped into that room, and with me was a man, though I couldn’t clearly identify who he was. In my hand, I was holding four large wooden dowels. These dowels were about 12 inches long and colored similarly to chico sticks — bright and attention  - grabbing. I kept turning to the man beside me, telling him, “You tell them,” as if I was unsure of delivering the message myself. But each...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

  The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

America Wake Up!

  America, Wake Up: Preparing for an Uncertain Future Major changes are happening in America, and if you haven’t been paying attention, now is the time to wake up. With the new administration in power, significant cuts are being made to essential programs such as food stamps, housing assistance, and medical aid. Millions of Americans who have relied on these services may soon find themselves without support, leaving many struggling to survive. The question is: are you ready for what’s coming? The System is Changing—Are You? For decades, many have depended on government assistance to make ends meet. However, as policies shift, these safety nets are shrinking. Qualifying for housing is becoming increasingly difficult, with landlords demanding high credit scores and income three times the rent. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and food assistance programs are being scaled back. The message is clear: relying on the system is no longer a safe bet. It’s time to take control of your fut...
