Wait For It

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 17th of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start off in the Book of Habakkuk 2:3:

”For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” 

Wait for it today. Oh, my dear friend, wait for it, do not become impatient. That is the message from the Lord Jesus Christ for you and me today. You know, Moses had to wait for forty years before the Lord used him to take the Jews out of Egypt, out of slavery. Joseph was imprisoned and forgotten about before becoming Prime Minister of Egypt. David was hunted like a wild animal by King Saul, for years, but he waited for his time. What about Paul? In my humble opinion probably the greatest of all the apostles. He went out into the unknown for three years, Arabia. Then after fourteen years living in obscurity, he was accepted by the disciples in Jerusalem. Then he went on to write two thirds of the New Testament and performed signs and wonders and miracles, unparalleled.  I want to tell you not to give up today. I really believe this message is for somebody who is tired, who has been unnoticed and unappreciated and who has just given up. Don’t give up.

Alexander Fleming, a farmer's son from Scotland, discovered antibiotics. The single greatest victory ever achieved over disease. Yes, he and some scientists invented penicillin and started antibiotics. He was a very modest man. He did not give up even when for a number of years, when he brought his discovery to the medical board, they barely noticed him and did not give him any time at all, and yet that man changed the course of history. In the year 2000, it was regarded as the greatest and most important discovery of the millennium, the discovery of antibiotics that has saved the lives of millions of people. Why? Well, because he waited for it.

Today, I don’t know what it is that you’re struggling with but take it to Jesus, wait for it and it will come to pass. 

God bless you and have a wonderful day, 
Goodbye
