“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
Why do we think we can work our way to heaven?
Why do we think we can pick and choose what parts of God’s word we want to obey?
Why are we not HUNGRY for Christ and His word?
Why do those who are seeking hard after the Lord get categorized as hypocrites when the ones they are looking at are the ones straddling both God and the world?
Why do we get jealous of others, is all that God has given us not good enough?
Why do we not forgive?
Why do we get more excited about worldly events and not God and heaven?
Why do we think we have all the time in the world to do what we want, when Christ could return any second?
Why are we not crying out to the Lord to save the lost?
Why are we not reaching out to the lost?
Why are we okay with being complacent in our relationship with God?
Why in the world are we letting Satan have this much control over God’s people?
Why are we not challenging one another spiritually?
Why are we afraid to speak to our families about Christ?
Why have we stopped holding one another accountable?
Why are we giving up in our marriages?
Why are we so blind to the fact that the very person we can’t stand if a “true” follower of Christ is going to be in heaven with us FOREVER?
Why are we still pulling our past around with us?
Prayer: Lord remind us how brief our time on earth is. Lord implant in our minds and our hearts, Romans 14: While we live we live to please You. And when we die, we go to be with You. So in life and in death, we belong to You. Amen
