Today’s Scripture…
2 Peter 3:9-13
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Thoughts…
I can be mighty quick with questions. I can even fire off lots of them at once. I am really not patient when I want my questions answered! I am sorry to admit, I am not any more patient waiting for an answer from God. Good thing He loves me…LOL!
God is not slow in answering our requests or questions. His timing is perfect. He knows at times we are not ready for the answer. Other times, He has a better answer if we can just wait it out. His plans are perfect for us.
His plans include being very patient and filled with grace. His hope is that none should perish. However, one day there will be an end to that patience. There is an end time. A day will come where we run out of time. Will you be ready? Are you ready now? We don’t know when this will happen. We must always be prepared by living godly lives just as God instructed.
One thing is for certain. We should look forward to the end. We will be with God and I for one won’t have to bug Him with my questions anymore because they will all be answered.
Prayer…
