There is a story of a man that would wake up each morning and stack up
the letters he’d write…tomorrow. He would think of the friends he’d fill with
delight…tomorrow. It was too bad, indeed; he was busy today and had no time to
stop on his way. “Just a bit more of time and I’ll give to others,” he’d
day…tomorrow. But suddenly someday, he died and faded from human view and that
he left as possessions for his children was a truck load of things he intended
to do…tomorrow.
Many of us have PhD in procrastination. We are always tomorrow people.
Everything that we want to do is always being scheduled for tomorrow, next
month or next year. Someone said that procrastination never won a race,
received a promotion or changed the outcome of any situation.
2 Corinthians 8:10 -11 say “And herein I give my advice: for this is
expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be
forward a year ago. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a
readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye
have.”
Apostle Paul was talking about the collection for brethren that they had
promised to do a year ago but they still hadn’t done it and Paul was
encouraging them to complete what they started. That’s what happens to some of
us, we talk we don’t do. We plan, we don’t execute. I will start saving next
month. I will start midnight prayer next week. I will give my life to Christ
when I buy a car.
British ambassador Nolbert Quayle said, “Tomorrow is the excuse of the
lazy and refuge for the incompetent.”
Even our God hates laziness and procrastination is the middle name of
a lazy person. Miracles are delayed sometimes because what we are supposed to
do (pray, read the word of God, meditate on the word of God, pay tithe etc) are
been postponed till tomorrow.
May procrastination not make you useless in life
in Jesus Name. Amen!
