In this passage, we’re reminded that while we wait for Christ’s return and for God to fulfill His promises, we’re called to live with peace, holiness, and trust. Peter’s comment that some of Paul’s writings are “hard to understand” comforts us — even one of the apostles wrestled with Scripture — and it shows how seriously the early church already regarded Paul’s letters. Peter’s core message is that what feels like God’s delay is actually His mercy: every day Christ hasn’t returned is another day for salvation, growth, and grace to take root in our lives. As we wait, we’re invited to ask ourselves whether we’re truly at peace with God’s timing, His answers, or even His silence. And if we find that peace difficult, our prayer can simply be, “Lord, we believe — help our unbelief.” We’re encouraged to trust His patience, trust His plan, and allow His deep, sustaining peace to guide us as we continue growing together in grace.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertai
