I have learned something interesting


I will call it, The True Miracle of an instant answer to a little prayer.

Have you ever prayed and received it would seem almost an instant answer to a prayer?

But other times you feel God has not answered you.

In 2Peter 3: 8 we find some insight.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

If you analyze this scripture you will find some interesting facts

If 1000 years on earth is a day in heaven that means

Each hour in heaven is 41.6 years on earth

And every minute in heaven is 1.4 years on earth which means

Each second in heaven is 8.5 days on earth.

In realizing this we discover God loved us so much he only wanted us to endure less than an hour of a trial on earth to prove our love for him through obedience to his commandments.

The next scripture is 2 Peter 3:9

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

We are taught here not to judge our perceived slow response to a prayer because God has our best interest at heart and though we may wait 1.4 years for an answer to a prayer it was only but a minute to our Father.
