If you were there for it, you remember how excruciating the long wait between the release of Halo 2 and Halo 3 was. Sure, most games require us to be patient for many years before their sequel emerges, but because of the way Halo 2 ended, this felt worse. Instead of giving us a feeling of closure before teasing the next chapter in the saga, the game abruptly ended right when we thought we were about to drop into the most exciting mission yet. Three LONG years later our patience was rewarded with the proper ending to the trilogy… and while waiting is never fun, the delay between chapters made us appreciate finishing the fight even more.

When reading the Bible it can be easy to forget that the promises the Lord gave people like Abraham, Joseph, and David were many years and sometimes even DECADES between their revelation and their resolution… and similarly, the dreams and visions He places in our hearts are rarely brought to pass immediately after we receive them. His promises are designed for specific times and even these “delays” are part of His perfect plan, so don’t lose hope… finishing the fight is what the Lord does best. 

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay long. Habakkuk 2:3-4
