Nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. ESV
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. ESV
God is slow to deliver anger and judgment because he is so full of mercy and love. Instead of coming back quickly, He is allowing time for more people to know him. On the other hand though, those same scriptures also show that the perfect judge of this world will judge us in due time and he will find those guilty lacking. I am so thankful for this period of grace that he has provided us.
