Reading – 2 Peter 3:8-18

Highlight Verse:

”But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.“
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’m writing this on Groundhog Day. Three guesses as to what movie we watched as a family tonight…

Yup, you got it – Groundhog Day.

Which is kind of ironic, watching a movie about someone for whom one day is lasting many days on a day when I read about a day being like a thousand years. (No, I did NOT pick the reading because of the movie).

In the movie, Phil doesn’t move on to the next day until he makes Groundhog Day perfect.

In reality, God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. Instead, He provides the perfection through the sacrifice of Jesus.

So what’s delaying God’s return?

He’s waiting for everyone to have a chance to accept His sacrifice.

He’s been waiting for generations.

He may choose to wait for many more generations.

Or He may return tonight.

He alone sees the big picture and knows the right timing.

While we cannot fathom what that looks like, we would do well to work toward the same goal as God – that all may know Him.

What does that goal look like in your life?
What can you do to hasten the day of God’s return?
