Scripture: 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Observation: Just as Peter had prophesied, many religious "experts" have determined that the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ and the destruction of this world are not really going to happen. Peter wrote this letter especially to make this point, that we do not listen to them. It will happen, it may be tomorrow or thousands of years from now, but it will happen. We can count on it.
Application: So how would you act if you knew tomorrow was your last day on earth? that is how we should live each day. Loving others, and loving our Lord.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you that you are not willing that any of us should go to eternal fire and damnation. Thank you for delaying the destruction of the earth until everyone has had a chance to give their lives to you and seal their eternity in heaven.
