PROCRASTINATION
Today's reading: Haggai

"This is what the Lord Almighty says: The people are saying, The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord's house--the Temple." Haggai 1:2 NLT

I don't believe I am a procrastinator.

When there is work to be done, I like to get the worst done first (Eat the frog, it's called).

I attempt to prepare things in advance.

I'm not a 'put-it-off' kind of person.

I'm even partially packed for a trip I am making 101 days from today!

But I read, and re-read, this verse and I've been convicted of some things I've been putting off...

Like when I'd prefer to know what's going on on Facebook instead of the Holy Book.

Or when what He asks me to do for another gets put off until a more convenient time.

Or the times I've postponed praying until I can 'get in my prayer closet'.

Or when I've needed to approach a friend in Christ with what I've done wrong and ask their forgiveness and I just don't feel like doing it now.

Or when breaking a stronghold might be easier to tackle another day--another week--another month.

Or when my own temple repairs need done but laziness creeps in.

So, I'm thinking this morning about becoming less of a procrastinator of spiritual things.

And that's something I really don't want to put off!
