Consider!

Proverbs 6: 6   ESV

⁶ Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

The smartest thing I did yesterday afternoon, was to turn the TV set off, and take a one hour walk.

That was one of the easiest things to consider, especially when I saw how terrible the Packers were playing.

As I walked, I saw people doing similar things.

I was surprised though at the number of people putting up Christmas decorations and lights.

At first I thought, what in the world are they doing?

But then it occurred to me, that yesterday’s weather was the perfect time to put up Christmas decorations, instead of waiting until it was 10 degrees.

Thomas Jefferson actually coined the phrase… “Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do today.”

What are you spiritually procrastinating about?

Biblical hard work is hard, or everybody would be doing it.

So why does the church still keep on teaching that following Jesus is a wiz, when we know that isn’t true?

That sounds like a HUGE contradiction.

So Jesus gave us 3 principals or ways to serve other people.

So why are you putting it off? Why are we so slow in doing what Jesus told us to do? Isn’t that more important than putting up Christmas decorations?

Here they are, and in no certain order:

Bless those who persecute you…Do good to those who hate you…Pray for them who despitefully persecute or reject you…
