Why in the world would you ever put off until “later” what you know you are supposed to do right now?

And stop with the excuses!!!  No one has ever done anything significant because they sat around and made excuses.

The person who makes excuses never makes a difference. And, there is always an excuse, I’ve spoken with so many people who know what they are supposed to be doing…but they are waiting until they graduate, get married, get a job, get another job, have kids, get the kids into school, get the kids to college…you get the picture.

The enemy will always make sure the word “tomorrow” is in our vocabulary…that way we don’t have to embrace today!  
People who procrastinate do so because they are either consumed with fear or obsessed with comfort, neither of which are supposed to control us if we are followers of Jesus.
So, what is it that you know you are supposed to do?  (Forgive someone, start a new career, change your major, begin to trust God with your money, invite someone to church, confess a particular sin & ask for help to overcome it, stop diving into destructive habits…)

Is it scary?  Of course…which is why it requires faith (where we trust in God way more than we trust in ourselves!)  And…Scripture is clear in Hebrews 11:6 that without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God!

So, what is it that your supposed to do…and what are you waiting for?

Digging Deeper: The author, Perry Noble, says that “People who procrastinate do so because they are either consumed with fear or obsessed with comfort . . .” Have you found this to be true in your life or in the life of someone you know? If this resonates with you, ask the Lord to reveal to you what is triggering your fear or demand for comfort. Confess anything you feel you need to confess, and petition Christ to empower you to overcome any obstacles preventing you from achieving His will for your life.
