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 (NIV)
They’ve been saying, “Jesus is coming back soon,” for centuries. As the apostles wrote the letters that make up our New Testament, they referred to it as His soon return. That was 2,000 years ago, yet here we still are.
And this is why. God isn’t willing that any should perish. He’s patiently waiting for the church to do its job of reaping the harvest. Reaping the harvest starts with praying and ends with telling the lost about the love of God.
Keep doing your job. Pray. Share. It will bear fruit for the kingdom. Once the harvest is fully reaped, He will come back and not a moment before. He paid a great price with His blood, and He is patiently waiting to get everything He paid for.
Let’s pray together.
