For God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.
For you are a slave to whatever controls you.
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake.
But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.
These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires.
Lord God,
I ask for protection from my own selfish desires, release me from this world and bond me to yours. May I strive to not desire understanding from this place and wait on your understanding to be revealed to me. Lord God, protect me from my grumbling ways.
In Jesus name,
Amen
