DAD'S RAMBLINGS – The Goodness of God
Romans 2:4
"Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"
Just because judgment on evil-doing is not immediate does not mean there will be none. Delayed judgment is only proof that God is longsuffering. "... [God] is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" (II Peter 3:9). In His goodness, He delays judgment in order to give people time to forsake their sin. People may thumb their nose at God and continue in their sin as if there is no God, but judgment will surely come – in this world and in the next. What a gracious God we serve!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Delayed judgment is only proof that God is longsuffering and demonstrates His goodness.
Have a grateful day. Love you.
