Day 293 of 365

He Is Patient Because He Loves

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

When God seems slow, He is not being neglectful. He is being patient. His delay is not indifference. It is mercy. He is giving more time because He does not want anyone to miss out on what He is offering.

Try This Today

Think of one prayer that feels long overdue. Instead of asking 'why' today, try asking: 'Who are You being patient with through this delay?' Let God's perspective shift yours.
