Waiting Around

 

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 Peter 3:8-9

Today, everything is right now.  We don't want to wait for anything.  We think stop lights are too long, the drive thru at McDonald's is too slow, the checkout line at the store is too slow, television commercials are too long, and our kids are too slow getting ready to go.  

It is just life.  Life means at times we will have to wait.  Sometimes things move fast, sometimes not.  We need to learn to roll with it.  

This scripture reminds us that God's timeline is not our timeline.

Just because we cannot see the end result, doesn't mean its not coming.
