Everything has its time, progresses on to fulfillment and will not disappoint. If it delays, wait for it. It will surely come. It will not be one day late.
Old Testament of the Bible
from the Second Chapter of the Book of Habakkuk
“This is a quote from a pretty obscure book of the Old Testament and it’s my loose translation of it. There are many different translations for this particular passage but this is one I like because it reveals how everything has its time. Sometimes things don’t happen as quickly as we’d like them to happen but something is going on underneath the surface, something that may be even more significant than that thing that you have been wishing for and waiting for.”
