Simon (Peter) Says

     As Peter writes his last letter, he makes it clear. God has let him know he will not live much longer. He reminds us of God’s sovereign timing. And he reminds us not to grow weary. Many will scoff at the truth of the Lord’s coming. Do not listen to them. God is not slow in keeping His promises.

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

     Peter goes on to write of the final days of heaven and earth, of the new heaven and earth awaiting us. And He reminds us to live in peace with God, to live good and godly lives. How do we do this? Here are Peter’s final words to you and me.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen 2 Peter 3:18

Lord,

Teach us how to number our days and to live our lives in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior. He is patient in His coming. He does not want to lose anyone. Help us to grow in our faith.

In Jesus name,

Amen
