“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise to return, as some people may think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be exposed to judgment. Since everything around us it going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living!” 2 Peter 3:9-11

Prayer: Lord open our eyes, remove the veil, strip away the calloused and hardened hearts. Lord wake us up to the realization that in order to follow You, we must put aside EVERYTHING, fix our eyes on what lies ahead Lord. The battle has begun, clothe us Lord in Your armor, the deceiver is here, his helpers are here. Lord make us believers like Abraham, faithful and blameless like Noah, give us a heart like David, the boldness like John the Baptist, Perseverance, joy, boldness, faith, strength, and the mindset like Paul, most of all Lord design us to be walking images of Jesus. Amen
