The Patience of God2 Peter 3:15
No. 354Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation.2 Peter 3:15
God's delay in judgment is not weakness or forgetfulness. It is patience — and that patience is saving people. Every day the return is delayed is another day for someone to turn. His patience is an act of mercy on a cosmic scale. Don't mistake it for indifference.
Reflect
Is there someone in your life who is still far from God? God's patience is still their window. Pray for them today.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your patience — the patience that saved me and is still holding the door open for others. Give me patience in my praying for those who haven't yet come. Amen.
