Today’s Daily Lesson comes from 2 Peter chapter 3 verses 8 through 10:

8 But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.9The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.

And Matthew chapter 21 verses 28 through 32:

28 ‘What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” 29He answered, “I will not”; but later he changed his mind and went. 30The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, “I go, sir”; but he did not go. 31Which of the two did the will of his father?’ They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, the tax-collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax-collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.

It’s not too late for change.

A day of revelation is coming, of which what we are witnessing now in the public domain is just a precursor. We have different words for this day. Some call it the the Day of the LORD, some call it the Day of Judgment, some the Day of Reckoning, some the day we hit bottom. In any case, it’s coming. 

Now then is the time for humility. Now is the time for repentance. Now is the time for a change of attitude and life. Now is the time to confess sin, fall upon the mercy of God, get up a new man or a new woman. 

God wills that none should perish, but all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). The door of repentance remains open. It’s still ajar. It hasn’t closed. God just keeps it open. And so it’s still even now not too late to be repent, be saved from myself, and start being a much better me.
