God could have judged the world as soon as it was corrupted by sin. If He wanted to do this, He would have been in the right. He is the holy judge, and we humans deserve to be condemned for our sins. Yet God shows us how patient He is to save us week after week, month after month, and year after year. He does have a Day of Judgment coming, but until that day, He will be saving, working, and waiting patiently for people to come to Him in faith. He has intervened in our temporary earthly lives with His eternal patience. Do you recognize how patient God has been with you for your sake? How have you responded to His patient hand in your life?
