TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 31ST JANUARY 2026 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional – 31st January 2026, Saturday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Wisdom for the Year – Be Patient
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:8
RECOMMENDED READING
Psalm 90:1-6
There will be situations in the year ahead when your patience is tested. You may be waiting on a child to complete a task. You may be waiting for a boss to respond to your request in your workplace. Or you may be waiting on a spouse to make a change that would make your relationship better. In each case you will focus on time-and find yourself growing impatient.
Peter’s words will help us manage our feelings about time. Peter wrote that with God a day (or a minute) is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like one day (or any other measure of time). In other words, time to God is not the same as time is to us. God is outside of time the past, present, and future are one to Him. Time to us is temporal and relative; time to God is eternal.
When time doesn’t move according to your preferences, ask God for His perspective. He is patient with us (2 Peter 3:9). So let us be patient with others.

Biblical patience …. is rooted in faith that says everything is in God’s control.
