Pastor Joey Bonifacio spoke to us today
He used Habakkuk 2:1 to show us the way
For when sense God doesn't seem to make
Remember that His promises He will never break
Instant answers we should not expect
Because God's timing we must respect
With God we need to learn to walk
Time with Him we must enjoy, not balk
Habakkuk was an oracle, many questions he did ask
That true faith will have crises, we cannot mask
But if we don't ask, answers we can not get
So if there is confusion, we should not fret
Per Pastor, "God is predictable" in so many ways
He is good, holy, loving, and faithful all of our days
In other words, we should always know the why
For his motives are pure, that is no lie
But "God is unpredictable" Pastor said then
Especially regarding the how and the when
So it is therefore important to know how to wait
Per Psalm 46:10, "being still" we can not overrate
From Desert Storm there was an added benefit
For thousands of Bibles the Mideast did admit
From the passage Pastor made points four
That really took us to the core
The first had to do with our posture
How we stand matters, that's for sure
It is important that we are active, not passive
For God is worth serving as long as we live
The second focused on being at the right place
Even if things don't go at the expected pace
We need to persevere at whatever we do
Instead of trying our hand at something new
The third was to have the right perspective
In this regard, the Bible has so much to give
We should be reading the Bible every day
On our iphone or in some other way
Understand God's purpose was the last
Knowing what He says now, not just in the past
Sometimes waiting is part of God's plan
Pastor told us of when his pain began
That pain helped him realise his true calling
The waiting was much more than stalling
In summary, to unfold our future we are to God let
Posture, place, perspective, purpose - don't forget!
