Read Daily Devotional For Today 6 September 2022
Topic: God is Patient
Scripture: 2 peter 3:9-10
This seems to be the answer to the question about why God isn’t answering my prayers! God is just taking his time until the time is right! Are we patient with God? Probably not so much! We want everything now. Peter is also telling us why God is patient with us: he doesn’t want any of us to be lost. God wants all of us to be with him in eternity but some of us are a little slower to come to believe in him and follow.
I have a friend who is involved in prison ministry. A few years ago he did an 18 week Bible Study with those who had been sentenced to life. He found them hungry for God. There was even a waiting list for the next series. They were in a place that most would consider devoid of hope, and yet they embraced the promise of salvation.
He found that they read the required Scriptures for each week and had great insights into the meaning of them. They also willingly did the exercises and were able to share their own failings in doing their own will instead of God’s will.
Most of us would have written them off as heading for damnation, but God is patient with all of his children and provides ways for his children to get to know him better. It is easy for us to judge who we will meet in heaven, but I have a feeling we just might be surprised.
Prayer For Today
Thank you Lord, for being patient with us, so that we all have a chance to be with you for all eternity. Amen.
