God is Patient

Methuselah was the longest living person on record. He lived to be 969 years old and it was no coincidence that he lived to be this old. The meaning of his name is "when he is dead it shall be sent". This meaning the floodgates will open at the time of his death. God waited and waited while Noah preached and persuaded people to accept His gift of grace before He sent the flood. God still waits today for us to come to Him and accept His grace but time is running out. Judgement is coming and every morning we wake up is a testament of God's patience toward us and others.
