With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

2. Peter 3.8.

Welcome to today's encouragement from our daily bread.

God's timing was written by Kenneth Peterson and read by West Ward.

2. Peter chapter 3, verses 8 through 13.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends.

With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

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. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens

will disappear with a roar. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the

elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth, and everything done in it will be laid bare.

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to

live holy and godly lives, as you look forward to the

day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire,

and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward

to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

But over the centuries, a problem emerged.

The Earth is actually slowing down in its orbit.
