By Robert Neighbor: 1. We think God never will act because He does not act immediately. The scoffers say that since the centuries have passed, and He has not come, He will never come. The Apostle says that we should not be ignorant that a thousand years are but a day with God. We count time by "years." God counts time by "millenniums." Sometimes even a day seems to us to be weary and long; Its moments seem hours; Its hours seem days; and its days seem years. We need to remember that from the promise in the gardens relative to the Seed of the woman, until the time when the Seed was born of the virgin there was a period of four thousand years. Yet, the statement is written in the Epistle to the Galatians, "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman." Because approximately two thousand years have passed since the Lord said, "If I go * * I will come again," is that any reason to doubt that promise? Two thousand years is but two days with God. 2. We must remember that God is "longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish." There is a reason for God's waiting. The Lord might have come in the lifetime of Peter. Had He done so, where would we have been? 3. However, God is "not slack concerning His promise." This is the statement in 2 Peter 3:9 ; and then, in 2 Peter 3:10 , he adds, "But the. day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night." When the Lord does come, He will come on schedule time, and He will not tarry. #2Peter3 #ServingJesusChrist #HeIsPatient

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 #theLordisnotslow #theLordkeepshispromises #theLordispatient #theLordsaves #heispatient
