This Time Write It Right!!!
Pastor Carolyn J. Blue
Habakkuk 2: 2-4
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 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.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
NLT
2 Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
3 This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
4 “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
This time write it right! If the Lord is saying that this time we are to write it right, that means that the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that we didn’t quite do it the way He told us to do it! Therefore God is saying this time write it right
What is it that God is saying that you need to write right?
God is saying that those questions that you have asked Him and you are waiting for an answer, He says I’m giving you the answer! And I need you to write that answer down
He’s telling you to write it right before you receive the answer so that you know that He has answered what you’ve asked of Him. But He still needs you to put it on paper!
Many of us have become modernized and we have started typing our answer or our vision, and some of us are even speaking it into our devices. God didn’t tell us to type it nor speak it into a device, but He said to write it down and make it plain! So plain that a fool need not to error.
Tonight’s lesson may not be for everybody, but there’s somebody on this call who has asked God for something specific, and you know that He said in His word that when we delight ourselves in Him, that He would give us the desires of our heart!
Therefore, that someone, that thing, or that something that you’ve already been asking for, you know the answer already!
Although the answer has not manifested itself in the natural world, we know that it is coming because God is a God that He cannot lie.
That’s why He didn’t say write it so plain for somebody to walk with it, but He said somebody will run with it!
Let’s think about a runner, a runner goes fast, and makes time while he or she is running. And the Bible says so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.
He says that this vision or this answer is for the future, which means that yes it’s coming, and that whatever it is will be fulfilled!
Let me say that again, whatever it is – it will be fulfilled!
He says that even If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
4 “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God.
