Read Habakkuk 2:3 in the NABRE onlineFor as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie. If it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
Reflection
The vision awaits its appointed time. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. The paradox is in the last word — it lingers and it will not delay. The timing is God's, and his timing is never late even when it feels slow.
