Procrastination

"Therefore to Him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to Him it is sin." - James 4:17

Procrastination.  Just seeing the word, makes me want to put off saying anything else.  That's because I find myself under conviction in that area.  And God has taught me that procrastination is a form of disobedience.

When God tells us to do something and we don't do it, we can label our actions with all kinds of fancy words, but the bottom line is that it is sin.  The days are passing and time cannot be stopped.  You can't call a "time out" in life.  And time cannot be stored like money in the bank.  Really, the only thing you can do with time is use it or lose it.  Someone has said, "  Lost: One golden hour, studded with sixty diamond minutes.  No reward offered, for it is lost forever."  Redeem the time. 

Have you been procrastinating about doing something?  Maybe you are putting off telling someone about Jesus out of fear they will reject you.  Maybe you are delaying asking someone to forgive you because you are feeling ashamed.  Friend, it's time!
