PROCRASTINATION

Good Morning Brethren,

What makes procrastination so annoying and sitting on the fence infuriating?

No matter what circumstance we find ourselves in, we like being able to tell with a good amount of certainty, what direction or action we must take to deal with the matter at hand. We abhor being lied to and hate deceit, even when it is so readily excused where we are the ones carrying out the act. I am yet to come across that being, even amongst those renowned for being exceptional liars and professional con artists, who enjoys being on the receiving end of their trade. They are often the ones who blow up in explosive anger at being deceived.

The ability to be true to who we are being right from the little basic things we choose to accept in our daily lives. Our moral principles are vital as we are faced with decisions constantly, some massive in nature, others seemingly inconsequential. However every choice we make is significant and is a marker for what the future bears for us. Nothing is stand alone and the choices made all interlink to the tapestry of life woven around us.

Because God is a God of order and precise in His timing, everything He sets up to occur for you is best achieved in the time and space for which it is intended. When we lie and scheme our way out of things, when we refuse, ignore or despise that which He has asked of us to do, when we sit on the fence rather than take decisions that are vital, we put ourselves out of God’s timing and His protection. We inadvertently say to Him, we are in control and don’t need Him therefore opening ourselves to attacks from all sides. Delayed obedience has us working in our power and strength to achieve what God’s grace had hitherto made available for us, with no more guarantee of success.

Is your yes too late?
