pray we'd hasten on The Day of Jesus' return!

2 Pet. 3:11-12

"You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming"

Have you ever reflected on this mysterious admonition? What does Peter mean when he says we should speed (or hasten) that day? Is Peter possibly referring to Jesus' statement that "this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations" before the end will come (Matthew 24:14)? If so, then consider the glorious possibility: by committing our lives to bringing the gospel to those people groups still without a believing fellowship in their midst, we are helping to speed the return of Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord, "Thy kingdom come." Give strength to our hands as we seek to hasten the day of Your appearing.
