Hurry Up & Wait, Part One

1. Read 2 Peter 3:1-18. What does it mean to wait for and hasten the coming of the day of God according to this passage?
2. In what ways have you considered either urgency or patience to be a higher value than the other? How has this passage challenged you to live in the tension between the two?
3. The passage emphasizes that God's timing and purposes are different from ours. How does understanding that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" affect your perception of waiting for God’s promises?
4. What practical steps can you take to reduce hurry in your own life and create more space for God?
5. In what ways do I need a greater sense of urgency in my life to fight against spiritual apathy?
6. Who in your life needs to hear the gospel this week and how are you planning on sharing it?

**Prayer + Practice: **

Pray through Psalm 90 this week, especially the prayer in verse 12, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." Ask God where you need an eternal perspective to either slow down or speed up.
