2 Peter 3:8–10 (ESV) — 8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that
with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness,
but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all
should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and
then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be
burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will
be exposed.
NOTE: The day of the
Lord is coming. God is not slow in keeping his promises. The problem is that
our lives are too short to realize that truth. God's timetable is at work.
There is still time to make an impact for the gospel. There are still people we
can reach by living godly and holy lives. The media has completely
misunderstood born-again believers. They believe the narrative that they
created about us. We care for our country. We are not racist, xenophobes, or
any of the other terms used to describe us. Certainly one can find examples of
individuals who are, but that is not the majority, nor is it what our savior
taught. Those who are growing in Christ and seeking Christ, their main desire
is to glorify him by their life, and to see others know and understand the
peace of God that is in our heart. Elections come and go. From an earthly
perspective, I am pleased today , but my passion is for people and that they
may know the Savior, BECAUSE, the day of the Lord is coming soon and unless one
repents, it will be a very painful judgment.
