Our God does not see time as we see time. We learned yesterday that we cannot lean on our own understanding. God’s ways far surpass anything that we could ever assign understanding to. The mere fact that, “a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day,” is beyond mind boggling for our human brains.
God has a promise for each of our lives. His promise is waiting for us to grow, change, and be transformed in mind and spirit so that we can take on what He has for us. His promises can be small and grand. He is with us each step of the way. Giving us pieces as we give Him the pieces of our lives.
If ever we feel like things are moving slowly, we should give Him praise and be grateful that He is preparing us fully, not leaving anything to chance. The world around us wants us preoccupied with staying hurried and on a specified timeline. That is no way to live freely. That way of life will always leave us feeling trapped, overwhelmed, and guilty if we do not meet the standard. God lives outside of the standard. He sets a different standard. Let’s live with Him outside the lines.

2 Peter 3:8-9 .. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 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. ❤
