8But 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. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
- 2 Peter 3:8-9
I'm not a very good cook - I don't have the patience for it. I'm usually in such a hurry to eat what I am cooking that I cannot wait for it to finish cooking.
Fortunately God isn't like that - He doesn't do anything out of impatience, the passing of time doesn't mean anything to Him. Instead He can wait for the best result - whether it takes a day, a week or a century!
