Every additional day is an opportunity to move closer to God.
Every day is an opportunity for those who are moving away from Him to stop, turn, and come back towards Him.
This is why, despite the strong desire for a final judgement when observing the sickness of the world and its institutions, we should be thankful for the delay.
In the meantime, we have work to do. On ourselves, with each other, and for others. The darkness that seeks to consume and enslave souls answers to us, for we have been given the power of Christ. The victory has been won, but we are the cleanup crew. Tasked with declaring the freedom available to those previously in bondage, and clearing out the lingering corners of darkness.
In Lord of the Rings, after Sauron is defeated, all of Middle Earth is free from his dark reign. Yet each people, each land, each village still had cleanup work to do to clear out any last vestiges and begin to rebuild on a good foundation.
When the Hobbits returned to the Shire, despite Sauron’s defeat, they found it ruled by a petty tyrant. They, knowing the power they had and the end of Mordor, quickly deposed the former servant of Sauron. Even though the war had been won, minions of the Dark Lord roamed and lingered, clinging to any bit of power they could get until someone with courage conquered them.
That is the position we are now in. Each day gives a chance to expand the Light, expose the darkness, and increase the number of those set free.
