Procrastination!


James 1: 8 
They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.

Did you ever wonder what the big deal is about procrastination?
Procrastination is actually the sin of not doing what we know we should do.

In my personal life, indecision usually happens when I don’t really like the correct decision.
Actually, sometimes I put off making the right choice, and then do nothing instead of doing what’s right.

Procrastination or doing nothing, is usually the result of fear.
Fear comes in all forms and also comes in many different sizes.
It actually paralyzes us.

When we stop to think of it, the more we put off doing what’s right, the more stress we add to our lives.
I’m certain that we grieve God, when we put off doing, what He has placed in front of us.

As much as we might not like to admit it, the perfect conditions for doing what’s right, may be a long time in coming.
I still believe Jesus expects us to share our faith no matter the weather or climate.
If He’s opened up a door for us, do we have a plan on how to respond?

Instead of peeking at your long laundry list of “to do’s”, pick just one item you can take care of.
Start with this….. “Today I’m going to ______________ as I have put this off, far too long.”
