Christian Devotional – April 14, 2013

VERSE:

2 Peter 3:9–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.

TRUTH:

God has promised to return and to put right all things, so many people wonder why He’s not done that yet. The answer: He is being patient and waiting to allow everyone to come to Him and repent. He does not desire that anyone would be found in that day without the saving grace of Jesus Christ, so He waits. He gives us opportunities to share and others opportunities to accept. Are we taking advantage of the time He’s giving us to share with everyone before His return?

RESPONSE:

Father, You are patient and You are just. You desire that everyone would be ale to come to You, but You will not force them, only wait and provide opportunities. Father, use me as an opportunity for others to hear about You and know You.
