Change is Coming

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.

Habukkuk 2:3

As we press forward we find ways to cope with the difficulties we are facing.  One way that we do so is by looking ahead to the time when we come out of this darkness.  God has promised to deliver and restore us.  We have visions and dreams of that day.  However, how long will it take?  We do not know exactly.  We do know, according to His word, that it is an appointed time.  That means the vision or dream has a certain amount of time that it will be only a vision or dream.  God has already determined when it will manifest into reality.  At least part of the purpose of this dark season is to prepare us for that reality.  So, make the most of this time by embracing change where it is needed.  Also, as best you can, do something to help others.  This is a good way to overcome depression and stress, because you will take your mind off of yourself.  (Many people are already doing well in this area.)  Lastly, continue to give God praise.  No matter what the circumstances, there is always a reason to praise Him, and praise is liberating.

 Keep looking forward. Keep looking up. Change is coming.
