Still Standing on the Promise
By Keymasha Knight | Adonai’s Power
Scripture Focus:
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.”
— Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)
Will The Promise Ever Come?
There are moments when disappointment hits harder than expected. You believed, you prayed, you fasted — and yet, things didn’t turn out the way you envisioned. You start questioning, “Did I hear God right?” or “Maybe it’s just not meant to be.”
Even as I go through my own disappointments, I know that delay does not mean denial. I am reminded that God’s promises are not on human time; they are set on heaven’s schedule. Even when you can’t trace the path of His hand, you can trust the faithfulness of His Word.
When God told Habakkuk to “write the vision,” what God was telling the prophet was, “Don’t lose sight of what I’ve spoken.” The very plans that anticipate should be the words of God and not the hopes of a man’s heart. And when you have peace and confirmation in your spirit that your Heavenly Father has spoken, don’t allow the trials of life to pry it out of your hand. Sometimes disappointment tries to erase divine direction, but faith writes it down again.
Go back to what God said. Open your journal, find the notes, replay that Word. Write it again with new ink and a renewed spirit.
Because what God says will still come to pass, even if it comes through a route you didn’t expect.
“Now Faith” Is Coming
Perseverance doesn’t mean pretending you’re okay; what it means is choosing belief when everything else feels broken. It’s saying, “Lord, I still trust You,” through the tears, the uncertainty, and the silence.
Sarah laughed before she carried Isaac.
Peter wept before he preached.
The cross came before the resurrection.
Disappointment didn’t cancel destiny — it cultivated it. I want to say that again - Disappointment didn’t cancel destiny — it cultivated it!
So take a deep breath and wipe your tears.
You are still in God’s plan.
Waiting seasons are often the shaping seasons. They grow endurance, humility, and maturity. When things continue to challenge God’s word, we can feel like we’ve done something wrong, but you’re not being punished; you’re being prepared.
When the promise finally arrives, you’ll realize the wait was worth it — because the waiting made you ready.
Declaration of Faith
“Lord, I will not give up on what You’ve promised me.
I will hold on to Your Word, even when my heart feels weary.
Strengthen me to stand, speak, and trust —
until I see what You said.”
What promise from God have you allowed disappointment to silence?
How is God using this waiting season to strengthen your faith?
What can you “write again” as an act of trust today?
As you retake your position of faith, remember:
The vision still speaks.
Even if it’s been quiet for a while, your story isn’t finished, and your promise hasn’t expired.
God remembers what He said.
And when it comes to pass, it will speak louder than your disappointment ever did.
