Patience!

"How long will the enemy mock You, O God?
Will the foe revile Your name forever?
Why do You hold back Your hand, Your right hand?
Take it from the folds of Your garment and destroy them!" -Psalm 74:10-11

Turn on your t.v. and watch anything that comes on. The news, a show, a movie, even advertisements; and you will see numberless amounts of content that mock God. Countless things every minute that go against God's word. Outrageous amounts of actions on a day to day basis no matter where we go that defy God's law.

 As a christian it is very hard for us to understand why God would just "sit back" and continue to let it go on day after day. Our human flesh cries out for God to end it all now!
Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. God is a patient god. He tells us in 2 Peter 3:8-9 that to God a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day, and "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting Anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance."

See God wants us ALL, every last one of us on this earth to turn to Him and repent (turn away) from our sins. He wants us ALL to accept His gift of salvation. Sin, ALL sin has a punishment that must be paid. That punishment is death. God doesn't want us to die eternally. So He gave us the gift of salvation so that we might live  for eternity.

He sent His only son to pay our punishment for us. (John3:16) All we have to do is recognize our sins and believe in our hearts that Jesus died (and rose again) for our sins so that we don't have to!

Father,
Thank You for being a patient God! ThankYou for loving ALL of us so much that You sacrificed Your son's life to pay for our own mistakes. Thank You Jesus for paying our debts so that we can walk away free!
Father, it breaks my heart to see so much wrong in this world, and I am so quick to just pray for Your return and end it all, but God, I know that Your timing is perfect. Your ways are not mine. I also know Your plan is to save as many souls as You possibly can before that time. I thank You for that, as I pray for as many souls as possible to be saved before You return. I also pray that all of us christians will reach out to those who need You still. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

If you are not saved and would like prayer or would like to talk more about salvation, please email me at justlifeisnotenoughblog@yahoo.com I'd love to pray and discuss salvation with you further.
