"GOD IS NOT A SLACKER"

“The Lord is not Slack Concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

I would hope that none of us think God is a slacker in anyway, but when it comes to His return, some of us are almost impatient about it. Well, why hasn’t He come back? The world is a mess. Nuclear threats, corruption, immorality, violence. Trust Him; He will keep His promise to return; when it is time. Ready for this? Maybe He will return before you read this, maybe thousands of years from now, however, we must live our lives like both are possible. Because they are! Couldn’t God, who spoke the world into existence, fulfill every prophecy in the twinkling of any eye? Also, couldn’t God who is perfectly gracious and merciful begin a revival to reach billions more for the Kingdom? Of course He could. So be ready and willing for both.

Peter is telling the impatient ones of his day that if God is tarrying, Glory to His Name, because He wants all to come to repentance. Some of us would honestly say, if it meant a billion people went to hell and He would comeback soon, so be it. I say, come when You will Lord for I will serve You until I die or You comeback.

Honestly though, I am with God and Peter, if one more will believe, we should pray for time as often as we pray for Him to return.

Spread His Gospel,
