Putting things off till last minute is the womb from which Procrastination is born. Its first words are “later” and “not now.” Procrastination is not lazy, incapable, or disobedient. It simply postpones what needs to be done.
Procrastination has lots of time. It has 25 hours in a day and an 8th day of the week called “Someday.” Procrastination’s busiest day is tomorrow—the day it makes major decisions, accomplishes great things, and effects important changes in its personal life.
Are you trusting Procrastination to do what needs to be done? Yesterday it promised “one of these days,” and today it’s pledging to do it “later.” But to do it later is to do it late, and one of these days is NONE of these days. Have no faith in Procrastination’s promises or achievements. It will ruin your dreams, opportunities, and destiny (Proverbs 6:6-11; Acts 24:24, 25).
Are you still in love with Procrastination? Please, wake up! Procrastination is a bad relationship. It’ll disappoint, deceive, and hurt you. Break off that relationship before it’s too late! Immediately de-friend Procrastination by befriending Today. And, to get things done, begin NOW!—for “Now” is the only time Procrastination can guarantee! (Proverbs 12:27: 13:4; 20:4; Luke 9:59-62)—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
