But
do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved that with the Lord one day
is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
The
Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient
toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
2
Peter3:8-9
Most
of us live in a world where everything is right now. We have the Internet with up to the minute
news and communication. We drive up to a
window at a restaurant and they hand us ready to eat food. Our cell phones glow, day and night. Yet,
in all this something is amiss.
We
cannot change our day to day lives one bit.
We cannot speed up events or fast forward past our problems. For these we must wait. When we are ill or in trouble or troubled by
problems, we are often at the mercy of others for solutions.
The
good news is that God is right there with us and He already has a plan for our
rescue. God’s plan is not our plan; His
plan will be carefully executed and carried out to bring glory to Him. We then need to exercise our faith and a
little patience, trusting God that even when things do not look so good to us,
that God has already taken care of everything in a way which will be for the
good.
