Do you ever felt like you have no energy? Do you ever felt like the time is moving so very slow? Do you ever felt like lacking in firmness, weak or feeling soft? It is like 'we're not keeping busy with our spiritual lives'? Often hear this, "we goof off"?
Know something? The Scripture tells us "THAT THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE" (2 Peter 3:9a).
God doesn't goof off. God doesn't play around. God doesn't slack around "AS SOME MEN COUNT (GOD) SLACKNESS" (2 Peter 3:9b) and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming?" (2 Peter 3:4a).
Peter was defending God against those who thought that God was taking His sweet time and "fooling around with us." That was absolutely not true! Peter defend God by saying, "Dear friends, here is one thing you must not forget. With the Lord a day is like a thousand years. And a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is NOT slow (slack) to keep His promise. He is NOT slow (slack) in the way some people understand it. He is patient with you. He doesn't want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, He wants all people to turn away from their sins. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief (2 Peter 3:8-10a). NIRV.
What do we do while we wait for His promise? 2 Peter 3:14,15 "Dear friends, I know you are looking forward to that. So try your best to be found pure and without blame. Be at peace with God. Remember that our Lord is waiting patiently to return, people are being saved" (NIRV).
More and more people are getting saved! Thanks to your prayers!
So trust God today!
