Scripture: 2 Peter 3: [9] 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.<\/p>\n
Observation: I am blessed that God is patient with me. He should have given up long ago when I gave up on myself. My purpose is to help bring others to his name so they won\u2019t perish. There are times I think how wonderful it would be if Jeus would come and get me out of here, but He put me here for a purpose.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to have patience in dealing with others, realizing God does not want anyone to perish. I need to get busy with my job to make sure the people God puts under my influence will be able to see Jesus in me and not perish.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord you have shown your mercy and grace to this servant and have saved me from what I truly deserved. Help me fulfill the purpose you have created me for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
