Cuando Dios nos habla, solemos creer que lo que nos dice sucederá muy pronto. Es posible, pero no es la norma. En el consejo que Dios le da a Habacuc vemos que, una vez que hemos escrito la visión, puede que tarde un tiempo en cumplirse. ¡No te rindas!

Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
Barandillas de guía: Discernir la voz de Dios en un mundo ruidoso
Si somos honestos en nuestro deseo de agradar a Dios, no a nosotros mismos, nuestro primer paso es revisar nuestro propio corazón. Al fin y al cabo, todos somos humanos. La mayor parte de nuestro pensamiento gira en torno a nosotros. Todos tenemos nuestras propias experiencias, necesidades y deseos. Naturalmente, interpretamos las cosas a través de esas lentes. Por eso, tal vez sea necesario revisar nuestro corazón.
Vision or Pipe Dream?
When God gives you direction for your life or ministry, write it down. Until you write it down, it's nothing more than a pipe dream. It’s devoid of substance.

Guardrails for Guidance: Only Buy the Real thing
Be sure to test out your revelations before you palm them off on somebody else as being from God. If you do miss it, be willing to admit it. It will give you more credibility, not less. There’s no hurry, we have all eternity, and a God who knows the end from the beginning.
Guardrails for Guidance: Hearing God’s Voice in a Noisy World
If we are honest in our desire to please God, not self, our first step is to check our own heart. We’re all still human after all. Most of our thinking is about us. We all have our own experiences, needs, and desires. We naturally interpret things through those lenses. Because of this, a heart check may be in order.
People Need Purpose
One of the more common phrases in our Christian world is “I’m going to pray about it.” In this case we’re talking about praying about God’s direction and purpose for your life and ministry. So what does that mean? How do I “look out to see what he will say to me”?
Do you have a “raison d’être”?
When you know the "why" of your existence, it provides you with motivation, direction, and most importantly, a sense of purpose. In French, they call it "raison d'être," which translates to "reason for being." Purpose changes lives.
