“Hurry up and wait” is a common phrase in the military. This is because everyone in the military is rushed, from eating to going to class to going on a mission. Everything is tightly scheduled. Why? We are frequently told to hurry up for no apparent reason, only to wait 2-4 hours in a random line. This makes the joke even funnier. In our faith, we occasionally experience similar feelings. Either in our personal walk with Christ, or when he returns/end times. I was reading 2 Peter today, which is about the upcoming day of the Lord; the end times are often overlooked due to differing interpretations and common disagreements. I don’t want to bore you with various theological doctrines, but I’m here to write about what the doctrine is about. The inevitable return of Jesus Christ. This is what Peter wrote. 

So, as we patiently await our Lord’s return. Will he find you working for him or asleep? Will he find you reaching out to the lost with the same hope he has given you, or will you be too preoccupied with stargazing at the world’s dying stars. The Lord’s Day will be the best day of our lives because it marks the beginning. However, it will be the most devastating for the world. So, who will work with God to bring the gospel to where He has placed you? Who will God use to save the lost before the coming of the Lord? Will that be you?
