The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
In our verse for today, Peter gives a reason why the Lord has not yet returned and brought to a conclusion the history of this world. We take comfort from that as we suffer and rejoice during this time. And what is this time? Some have called it the church age or the age of faith, others are just living day by day. In each case we are in that time between the ascension of Jesus and His imminent return, by some called the Second Coming. However, the pages of this time in history are not blank pages in His book. Jesus assured us that even the giving of a cup of water to one of His little ones was noted and rewarded. The times and each of us do matter to our Lord Jesus and we rejoice to be in His book. Therefore keep on doing even the smallest of good deeds from a generous heart.
May our Lord God bear you up in faith this great day!
