Good Words for Today: February 18

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Verse 9 reveals God’s tender heart toward the lost. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. For 2000 years, he has held back the final judgment in order to give rebellious men and women a chance to surrender their arms and yield allegiance to Jesus Christ.
