The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.  He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

Continuing yesterday’s theme, have you ever wondered why God seems to take so much time to do stuff?

Of course you have.

Peter, talking about Christ’s return, says that God is waiting out of mercy.  He wants everyone who has it in their heart to come to him to do so before the door is closed.  He knows what he wants—he has a plan—and he will move when the time is right.

I wonder if that principle applies to other aspects of our lives.

I wonder if I’m not wealthy because, in my current spiritual state, I couldn’t handle it.

I wonder if those who are waiting for jobs, or love, or children, or health, or finances, are not being forced to wait because God is slow, but because he is patient.

I wonder if, with regard to your life and mine, God knows what he wants—he has a plan—and he will move when the time is right.

I wonder…

No, I don’t.

Neither do you.

Again with the trust?

Yes, Beloved, again with the trust.
