The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
(2 Peter 3:9 (NIV))
Are you as patient with God as He is with you? Would you apply the same patience and attitude in waiting on God as He does in waiting on you?
Be thankful that He is a patient and righteous God. We, in our limited understanding, are not patient. We expect everything “NOW” and are not prepared to truly be patient. We have a limited life on earth, limited reasoning and limited understanding. God has eternal life, is all seeing and all knowing. From God’s perspective, He is not slow. He has all of eternity. Our short lives on this planet are just that:
“As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;”
(Psalm 103:15)
If patience is a virtue, are you a virtuous person?
