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
"If God can get rid of sin, why hasn't He done it yet?" asked a little boy. Countless people under the weight of a wicked world have asked such a question. How can we reconcile the endless string of wars, corruption, brutality and suffering with a good God who hates evil? Why does He let it all continue unchecked? A look at the darkness and depravity of the world brings sorrow that the human race, myself included, can make such short work of everything good and beautiful. Yet how much more must God sorrow to watch His children ruining the gifts He gave them and driving themselves to destruction? By all rights, He should have put an end to it long before now, and not in our favor. But He waits . . . because there are still souls He is rescuing even in the chaos. His grace and patience are unfathomable!
