Deuteronomy 4: 29
But from [other lands] you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.
God is waiting for us to want Him with all our reasoning capacity and all our emotions. No matter where we are in this whole World, even to the furthest corner of the World, God is there, waiting for us.
II Peter 3: 9 tells us that The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
This is why He hasn't returned yet, He's still waiting for everyone who will come to Him to turn around their thinking (repent) and realize that they deserve death, as the paycheck for their sins. And turn to Jesus as His death paid their debt, individually. There are still people He is waiting for, but He won't wait forever.
Habakkuk 2: 3 tells us that These things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.
God told Habakkuk that everything He had planned would take place, just as He determined it would. He determined when it would all take place, and He is never late.
He waited for the right time for Jesus to come the first time, (Romans 5: 6) You see, at just the right time, (when we were powerless) Christ died for the ungodly. This means that God waited for the perfect moment in history for Jesus to come, and to die for, in the place of, those of us who know we are living away from God and His ways, and deserve the death He died for each of us.
And when He returns to this Earth, then the time will be over for choosing Him to be our Savior. That's why God has given us all this time. It's been over 2000 years so far, and we don't know how many years He will tarry. But He has set the specific Day when Jesus will return, and it will not be late. It must be very soon, so please don't delay coming to Him in faith, and doing whatever you can to grow ever closer to Him as your Father, your Savior, your Redeemer, your Best Friend!
He will not tarry, don't you. Today is the Day of Salvation (II Cor 6:2). How will we escape if we neglect this Great Salvation? (Heb 2:3-4).
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
