God's Patience
God’s Patience || 2 Peter 3: 9 || Deacon Pacia Love
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promises, and some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
I cannot count how many times I use the microwave, or the air fryer to cook an entire meal in minutes. We live in a world of instant gratification, and fast pace treating God ‘s timing like a fast-food drive-through service expecting quick results.
During lent is a season to practice patience, and trust that God is never late. 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us that our time of preparation is a direct result of God’s extraordinary patience. God’s Grace gives us more space to grow closer to Him.
So when we feel rushed or even scared, I must pause, pray and thank God for his slowness which allows me to reflect, repent and turn back to Him.
Prayer: Thank you, God, for your patience and mercy toward me. Help me to trust your timing and rely on your slowness that I might draw closer to you in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
