Reference: 2 Peter 3:8

An economist who read 2 Peter 3:8 was amazed. “Lord, is it true that a thousand years for us is like one minute to you?”

“Yes,” God said.

“Then a million dollars to us must be like one penny to you,” the economist said.

“Well, yes,” God said.

“Will you give me one of those pennies?” the economist asked.

“All right, I will,” the Lord said. “Wait here a minute.”
