In Such A Time As This

 

Today's verse is 2 Peter 3:3-4

     Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 

     And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 

    In my readings today, except for what I read in Numbers (which we are apparently not observing) I read of those that did not acknowledge God, nor his Word, as in Psalms, They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. And again, Isaiah reports, Thou that art full of stirs, A tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle. Do not we now live in such a time as these describe? But what is the promise of God concerning these things? Is it not as Peter later proclaims, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So, Repent with a willing heart, wholly unto the Lord your God, and lift up your voice that others may hear, not only of the danger they do not perceive, but of the gift of Salvation that is yet offered to them, before it is loo late. Is not the time drawing near? Amen.

To God be the Glory
