Waiting On You

How slow is God in responding to us? Another way to ask it is, how patient is God in waiting on us to show us his faithfulness?
God is not slow in fulfilling his commitments to us. God is infinitely patient in waiting on everyone to come to know him. God keeps his promises in his perfect time.
The Apostle Peter wrote, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9, ESV).
God is waiting on us to turn to him so that he may fulfill his perfect will and keep his promises to us for an abundant life according to God’s good design and purposes.
What are we waiting for? Because God is waiting for us.
May we turn away from our will and our ways, and turn to God’s will and God’s ways, and find that God is waiting on us with open arms.
A Collect for Strength to Await Christ’s Return: “O God our King, by the resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ on the first day of the week, you conquered sin, put death to flight, and gave us the hope of everlasting life: Redeem all our days by this victory; forgive our sins, banish our fears, make us bold to praise you and to do your will; and steel us to wait for the consummation of your kingdom on the last great Day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
