"Ah, sword of the LORD, how long will you not be quiet? Withdraw into your sheath; be at rest and stay still." "How can it be quiet, when the LORD has given it an order? There He has assigned it." Jeremiah 47:6 & 7.
God has said in His Word that He does not change. Believers draw comfort from this attribute and have hope. However, I fear that unbelievers are deceived into thinking that God is like them and will change His mind about their sin. This is a grave error in thinking. This verse is one great big reality check into the actual thinking of God. Once God gives the order, once He has assigned it, you can bank on its happening. What God says, God does!
Therefore, as believers, we must "know the terror of the LORD and persuade men." (2 Cor. 5:11) God's orders, decisions are unwavering. This needs to prompt our urgency in evangelism. There will be a time when the waiting will be done.
