Heavenly Patience

Heavenly Patience…

Good morning all!!

As we start a new day, let’s pause to reflect on a truth that has the power to transform our perspective and fill us with hope. In 2 Peter 3:9, we find a beautiful reminder of God’s patient, loving heart towards humanity.

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

In the hustle of life, patience often feels like a luxury we can’t afford. We long for instant answers, quick breakthroughs, and rapid resolutions to our problems. But 2 Peter 3:9 offers a different perspective – one that invites us to see the loving heart behind God’s timing.

This verse reveals that God’s perceived slowness is not a sign of indifference or neglect but a reflection of His deep desire for everyone to experience salvation. His patience is a testament to His grace, a reminder that He is willing to wait, to give each of us every opportunity to turn to Him. And in the waiting, He is not idle. He is at work, weaving His goodness into our stories, preparing us for the answers to come.

So today, let’s choose to trust in God’s perfect timing. Let’s allow His patient heart to shape our own, and let’s rest in the assurance that in Him, every delay is an invitation to draw closer to the One whose love never runs out.

Dear Lord, As I step into today, I’m reminded that Your timing isn’t just a test of patience; it’s a canvas for Your love and grace. In those moments when I’m tapping my foot, waiting on answers or change, help me remember that You’re in the wait with me. Shape my heart to match Your rhythm, finding peace in Your pace, not mine. Teach me to cherish these pauses, knowing they’re filled with Your purpose. May my trust deepen in these times  and let my spirit stay aligned with Yours, recognizing that every moment of delay is ripe with Your loving intent. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Waiting time is not wasted time. Something is being worked out — in us, in our circumstances, in other people, and in the “invisible” realms where God is at work.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
