Fri.’s Devo - The End

Read 2 Peter 3:9-18

God has promised to come again and wrap all this up but, he has perfect timing. He does not delay in his timing though it looks like it to us. We want everything to happen NOW to US. But God, sees the whole picture; all time as one huge event. He seems like he is slow because his heart is to see all men come to repentance. So, he is not in a hurry. When he does come it will be suddenly and like a thief in the night. 1 Thess. 5:2-4 says that he will also come when everyone is saying they are safe and at peace. But to the ones who know the Lord, he will not come as a thief because we walk in the light of day, not the fear of night. Amos 3:7 says that God will do nothing unless he reveals it to his prophets first. If you want to know what the prophets of our land are saying you can Google the Elijah List and read it. There are some true prophets that write on it.

When Jesus comes back he is ushering in a new millennium. The old heavens will be destroyed by sound and the old earth will be consumed with fire and totally destroyed. Knowing this should make us want to live our lives faithfully walking with God and looking forward to the next thing God is going to do. We surely want to be ready. We do not want to be like those who listen to the ungodly and fall away from what we have been taught to be true. But, let us press on to know God more and more and not worry about what the Mayan Calendar or any other false hope says.

Lord, our desire is to know you more and understand your timing. We commit our times into your hands and trust in your unfailing love.
