2 Peter 3

verse 11-12: You out to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.

This chapter speaks of the time when the Lord returns. Many people will question when it will be and how long it is/will take {already happening} but Peter says God is just being patient so that no one will perish but "everyone will come to repentance." Wow. Thank you God. He speaks of us preparing for the day by "making every effort to be found spotless, blameless, and at peace with him," and to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

I know I don't think about such things everyday. Should I? Am I too comfortable living as part of this world? I think just asking the question answers it...

Lord, I pray that every day I make every effort to grow in who you are so that I may be ready for your return. I pray that I can be used as a tool in your goal of seeing everyone come to repentance. I pray that I never allow myself to be content here, that I always look forward to the new heaven and new earth that you have promised. Thank you for who you are and for your promise. Amen.
