Wednesday's Word from the Bible

2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (NKJV)

Do you remember this old saying; "Tie a string around your finger so you want forget." Then the challenge would arise to remember the reason that we placed the string on our finger in the first place. Now we download games on our smart phones that are supposed to assist us in our ability to remember things that we do not want to forget. People have been known to write things on the palms of their hands, on their wrists and even on the back of their hand. Why did they take that action? They did not want to forget some morsel of an important fact or truth.

I can not tie a string on your finger and I can not not write on the back of your hand through this electronic communication but I do have some important information for you today. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THE PROMISES OF GOD!! Many of you are just like me today. You are standing on the promises of God concerning certain issues/situations/challenges/battles/struggles in your life or in the lives of others today. You are believing God for yourself as well as for others. Do not give up or give in to doubt or fear. We have a great reservoir of riches from which to draw.

We definitely can not afford to give up on praying for our family and friends who need a relationship with Jesus Christ. There are times that we may need to revisit the promise that the Apostle Peter declared in our verse for today. God is not slack concerning His promise and His desire to reach out to those who need a Savior. 

Our present world is full of uncertainty but we can count on the certainty of God. I am still claiming the promises that God has spoken in His Word. I am still holding onto "God's unchanging hand..."
