So, when April 15 falls on a weekend and then Monday is a legal holiday in D.C., the dreaded “Tax Day” gets bumped to April 17. Two days later. There are two (at least) very divergent views of these two additional days. From a filer’s viewpoint, it could be seen as “extra days” to get it done (good for procrastinators). From an accountant’s viewpoint, it could be seen as, “You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve got to do this for two more days!”
In 2 Peter 3, the Lord revealed that there are two (at least) very divergent views of the days that continue before the Lord’s return. From the scoffer’s viewpoint, they see every additional day as a broken promise and more time to fulfill their lusts (3:3-8). From the faithful Christian’s viewpoint, the “extra days” should be seen as a sign of God’s longsuffering and desire for all men to repent and be saved (3:9).
God has given us two “extra days” – yesterday and today. How have you used them?
