God Is Waiting

God Is Waiting "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." 2nd Peter 3:9 So often in life we want things done immediately, in our own time frame. The one thing that we need to remember is that God has a time for all things, which necessarily is not what we always want to hear or wait for. Many times we pray when we are in trouble, when we have problems, when our mountains get too high, asking God for help. It is in our bad times that we reach out to God, asking Him for help. If we want God to answer our prayers and to help us, we need to go to Him in our good times as well, thanking Him for all the blessings that He provides each day. God does not want us to reach out to Him only in our times of trouble, but to reach out to Him each day when things are also going good in our lives. God is just, and He is also patient with us, and only wants the best for us. He has a plan for everyone, and that plan is that He wants us to repent of our sins and live our life for Him, and accept His salvation. I know that many of you may be facing some tough issues today that only God can solve, and ones that you don't see how you can resolve on your own. However, God is there for you, He can give you peace and comfort you even in the darkest hours, when there seems to be no hope. God only wants the best for you, and loves you so much that He gave His only son to die on the cross for your sins. Take a few moments today to share your burdens with Him. Let Him comfort you and show you His love, His grace and His mercy. Put God first in your life and He will bless you in all that you do, but most of all He will give you an eternal life.
