Have you ever postponed mending a relationship because you think you still have time? Many a child has waited to make amends with a parent only to have that parent die before they could have that conversation.

Not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. II Peter 3:9

The situation is similar when it comes to your relationship with God. If you don’t have good fellowship with Him, it would be wise to take a spiritual inventory and do what you need to do to rectify it. Though some people think there is no such thing as a day of God’s judgment, the believer understands that the delay is not due to the scoffer’s wish that it will never happen. It has truly been delayed by a loving God who does not wish that any should perish. He is waiting for confession of sins and a turn around in living. Because of that, believers live productively as they eagerly anticipate the Lord’s return.

Beloved, fervently intercede daily for family, friends and leaders of this nation who are waiting for some future time to accept Jesus as Savior. Pray that they put off their arrogance and be humble before God, believing and repenting. The time is now.
