2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV): The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
One of the great things about God is that He wants us all to be part of His Family. There are many who teach that He only wants a select few. They go as far as teaching that He creates some to go to hell that we don’t have a choice.
If we study scripture, that is a direct contradiction of what God says and does. Throughout scripture, we see that God gives all of us choices to whether follow Him or to continue in our sins. Many choose to stay in their sins and not follow Him.
Even though it is a hard thing to grasp that they make this choice, ultimately, we are the ones who have to decide what we are going to do. When Joshua lead Israel into the promised land after Moses’ death, he told them that they needed to make a choice of whom they will serve. Then He said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24).
That’s a challenge for us today, who are we going to serve? Will we serve our own desires of this world? Will we serve The Lord? We can’t serve both. It means taking a hard look at where we fail and seeking forgiveness and repenting before Him, if we choose to follow Him.
It starts with Our Relationship with Jesus. If you don’t have a Relationship with Him or you need to rekindle that Relationship, do it now. Call out to Him and seek his Love and Forgiveness. It really is as hard or easy as you make it.
We should look to Him daily to seek a relationship with Him. I want to encourage you to seek Him today, if you haven’t already. If you need help, have questions or need direction in this regard, please, feel free to let me know.
Maybe today you are struggling with something. Maybe you may have found yourself not as close to The Lord as you thought. We would like to help you in this through prayer and guidance.
