Today’s Scripture…
2 Peter 3:9-12
9 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. 10 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.11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 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.
Thoughts…
God is very patient with us. It is called grace. However, He does have a plan for your life and the world in general. Our time is limited here on Earth. The Earth’s time is also limited. We need to be aware of this.
I know somedays you look at this thought and start praying for more time. Other times, you look up at the sky and say, “Take me now Lord!” I. Have been in both of those situations before, have you?
No matter which state of life you are in right now, you need to be praying. Praying for your loved ones, your neighbors, and yes even your enemies. Praying that they will see Christ for who He is and make the decisions in their lives to be ready when God calls us home.
Time is always marching on and will not slow down. Eventually, it will stop. It may stop for you or everyone. Are you prepared? What can you do today to be ready and help those around you be ready?
