Hello all, A Word of encouragement from ML Excellence devotional and books entitled: God’s Patience and Perfect Timing
2 Pet 3:8-9 AKJV
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
How many of us know that God’s timing is not our timing? God is eternal and immortal. We are not.
The scripture says that 1 day with the Lord is as 1000 years. That is amazing! In other words, we cannot comprehend the timing of God!
We are subject to time, but God is outside of time. So we should never try to put God on a timetable or schedule. This is why patience is important.
We should thank God that he is so patient with us. Because he gives us time to forgive others, to repent, and get things in our relationship with him and others right.
God is so patient that he does not want us to perish. He desires for us to live and have life more abundantly in him!
Let us never take God’s grace for granted, although he is loving, kind and compassionate!
One day he will come back to settle spiritual accounts with every person in this earthrealm, to give an account for words, works and deeds done in the body!
When is that time? No one knows, but Father God only according to Christ. (Matt 24:36).
Be encouraged and blessed as you wait on the LORD for all things in life, knowing that God’s time is always perfect!
God bless,
Pastor Quinn 😊 🙏🏾 👍🏾
