How do you handle delays? I am not the most patient, especially when it comes to things that I hoped would happen in a certain timeframe. In the book of Ezekiel, we see that the prophet offers a new proverb to the people of Israel, and it concerns the issue of 'delays' and the fulfilment of prophecy:"Again a message came to me from the Lord: “Son of man, you’ve heard that proverb they quote in Israel: ‘Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing.’ Tell the people, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.’
Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: ‘The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!’
“There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel. For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen." - Ezekiel 12:21-25
“There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel. For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen." - Ezekiel 12:21-25
We are reminded that although we have to endure frustrations and delays in our personal plans on this earth, God's plans will be accomplished without delay!
