Please pray that I would have wisdom and know what the Lord wants me to do! :)
Thank you

2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
Today my teacher for 1 & 2 Peter brought up this verse and the verses before it. If you read the verses before you will get the whole context of it. My teacher gave an awesome analogy and I'm going to paraphrase it the best I can.
If I were to tell you that I was going to come to your house today for dinner, you would clean up right away and get everything in order. But if I was to tell you that I was going to show up sometime this week, you would daily be cleaning up your house because you wouldn't know the exact time I was coming, you would just know that sometime I would be arriving.
If we have the return of Jesus in the forefront of our mind, we will be wanting to stay away from sin and we will want to be doing what He has called us to do. I encourage you to read through 1 & 2 Peter on your own time. The Lord has been using it a lot in my personal walk with Him...and I believe He will do the same in your life.
