It hurries toward its goal. It wonât be a lie. If itâs delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It wonât be late.â Habakkuk 2:3 (GW) God is never in a hurry, and heâs never late. Heâs always on time. Godâs timing is perfect, even when we canât understand it. Weâll never fully understand Godâs timing because God exists on a different wavelength. Because he is timeless, he has a different view of time. The Bible talks about Godâs understanding of time in 2 Peter 3:8. It says, âDo not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a dayâ (NIV). Does that sound like the way you treat time? It might feel like a thousand years when Iâm waiting for a meal sometimes, but we humans donât think in those terms. Godâs timelessness has big implications for your life. When God created you, he put a dream in your heart. Most people start off with a big vision and a big goal. They have some kind of dream or plan or project for their life. What vision has God given you? Over the years Iâve discovered that while everybody tends to start off early in life with a vision, as time goes on, more and more people give up on their dream before itâs accomplished. The reason is often because it doesnât happen fast enough. Maybe you have had your dream battered. Maybe you have had your dream broken. Or maybe, out of discouragement and disappointment, you have buried your dream. Youâve given up on it. God doesnât want you to do that. If God gave you a dream for your life, it will happen. It just has to happen on his timetable, not yours. God says this about your dream: âThe vision will still happen at the appointed time. It hurries toward its goal. It wonât be a lie. If itâs delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It wonât be lateâ (Habakkuk 2:3 GW). When I started Saddleback Church when I was 25 years old, I was in a hurry to get everything done fast. But God said to me the same thing he will say to you with your dream: âNo, itâs not all going to happen right now. But slowly, steadily, the vision will be fulfilled.â I want you to remember this powerful truth: God is never early in your life. He is never late in your life. God is always right on time.
