November 3
In God's Time

"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" (Habakkuk 2:3).

Mercy may seem slow, but it is sure. The LORD in unfailing wisdom has appointed
a time for the outgoings of His gracious power, and God's time is the best
time. We are in a hurry; the vision of the blessings excites our desire and
hastens our longings; but the LORD will keep His appointments. He never is
before His time; He never is behind.

God's word is here spoken of as a living thing which will speak and will come.
It is never a dead letter, as we are tempted to fear when we have long watched
for its fulfillment. The living word is on the way from the living God, and
though it may seem to linger, it is not in reality doing so. God's train is not
behind time. It is only a matter of patience, and we shall soon see for
ourselves the faithfulness of the LORD. No promise of His shall fail; "it will
not lie." No promise of His will be lost in silence; "it shall speak." What
comfort it will speak to the believing ear! No promise of His shall need to be
renewed like a bill which could not be paid on the day in which it fell due-"it
will not tarry."

Come, my soul, canst thou not wait for thy God? Rest in Him and be still in
unutterable peacefulness.

“Evermore give us this bread.ö John 6. 34, 51-58


1 Lord, send thy Spirit down
On babes that long to learn;
Open our eyes, and make us wise,
Thy body to discern.

2 ’Tis by thy word we live,
And not by bread alone;
The word of truth from thy blest mouth, O make it clearly known.

3 With what we have received
Impart thy quickening power;
We would be fed with living bread,
And live for evermore.
