At some point we’ve all been guilty of putting off what is important.
But what if what was so important meant that putting it off would
have a major consequence? Well, that’s where obedience comes in!
Perhaps the best example of this in the Bible when God gave
Noah the assignment to build and finish the Ark. Noah undoubtedly thought,
“This is a huge task! Is such a thing even possible??”
But despite that, did he procrastinate or just give up? Nope!
Throughout this long, arduous task, Noah pressed on forward methodically
day after day, and as the account in Genesis says persevered faithfully
for one hundred twenty years until it was finally finished.
If Noah had procrastinated, he would have realized his huge error after
it was too late, yet instead of procrastinating,
Noah obeyed God without question or hesitation and everything
just as God commanded him.
Likewise, is there something today that is really important to do,
but you keep putting it off? As today’s verse says, don’t be like the
'sluggard' but be determined like Noah! Start and finish
your task and youwill be rewarded with the completion of something
important that will produce a positive outcome.
But in particular there is one VERY IMPORTANT thing you
should NEVER procrastinate on!
Friend, if you have not done so, do not procrastinate onaccepting
God’s invitation to forgive you of your sins, because the
“Soul of the Diligent” is richly supplied for eternity to all
those that faithfully finish their faith.
