Hymn writers remind readers that divine timing requires patience
New devotional material argues that God's promises operate on a fixed schedule, urging believers to wait for fulfillment rather than rushing the process.
By Claire Herrera ·
A new devotional text released today argues that divine mercy moves on a specific schedule. The piece, titled 'In God's Time,' tells readers to wait for God's appointed hour. It asserts that the promise will speak and not lie.
The writing draws directly from Habakkuk 2:3. That verse states the vision is yet for an appointed time. It says the vision will speak and not lie. The text notes that if it tarry, believers should wait. It claims the vision will surely come and will not tarry.
The author describes God's word as a living thing. The text says it is on the way from the living God. It warns against viewing the promise as a dead letter. The writer argues that the living word may seem to linger but is not actually delayed.
The devotional compares God's timing to a bill that does not need renewal. It says a promise will not be lost in silence. The text claims no promise needs to be paid on the day it falls due. It states that the promise will not tarry.
The piece addresses the reader's soul directly. It asks if the reader can wait for their God. It instructs the reader to rest in Him. It calls for stillness in unutterable peacefulness.
