It May Be For Tomorrow

“Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.”

‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I write this now from a place of spiritual rebuke. With this blog consistency has not been my trademark. At times I feel discouraged, not sure where this is going or who it’s reaching and most importantly if it is having impact, so invariably I end up slowing down and not always writing down what God has revealed.

As I sat down today to settle into quiet time, listening to worship, I kept thinking of Habakkuk 2:2 , I wanted to shake it off, “what can I get from there that I haven’t already?” It’s a popular, well known scripture, I wanted something “new”, but I couldn’t shake it off. So I opened my bible to Habakkuk 2 and as I read it,the first thing that came to mind was to blog, I felt God saying, “it’s important that you write it all down, there are people who need what I reveal to you, it may not be for their today, it may be for their tomorrow, but they need it.”

It goes further than that, further than the relevance of this blog, to what it is you’re believing God for, what it is God has spoken over your life and today you may look around and your circumstances may look nothing that the word over your life and sometimes it’s very discouraging, and God says “today’s trial is for tomorrow’s fruit.” God has sewn and spoken into your tomorrow, it may not feel like it’s panning out, but what you write today is for an appointed time, it’s for tomorrow.

Habakkuk is probably the most quoted scripture when it comes to writing down what you hear from God, but God gave similar instructions to Isaiah and Jeremiah. There is something essential and powerful in writing it down.

“Go now, write it on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may be an everlasting witness.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Writing it down is how we give glory to God. It bares witness to the fact that before it happened God said it. It serves as a reminder in the season of waiting that there is a plan, writing it down will encourage your faith and others. And never forget just cause it hasn’t happened, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t happen, it’s waiting for you in your tomorrow.
