Scripture for Reflection and Preparation
2 Peter 3:9-10 “9 The lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
10 But the Day of the lord will come like a thief; on that day the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the
elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.”
Psalm 42:1-2 “1 as a deer longs for streams of water, so i long for you, god. 2 i thirst for god, the living god. When can i come and appear before god?”
Psalm 119:81 “81 i long for your salvation; i put my hope in your word.”
