#soap # 2 Peter 03 ## Title: God’s Overwhelming Patience ## Scripture: (2 Peter 3:9) “The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (NET) ## Observation: The Lord knows us. He knows more about us than we can imagine. Therefore, He knows how much grace we need. It can be difficult watching other people get so much grace. When someone does evil or lives in blessing they have not earned, we can struggle to give God glory. However, this is a sign of His amazing patience. We can also be sure that this grace is extended to us, too. ## Application: Celebrate God’s patience, even with those you wish He would judge. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being more patient with us than we realize.
