#Devotion PROCRASTINATION A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of maize in the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to investigate. Hey, Tom, he called out, forget your troubles for a while and come on in and have a meal with us. Then Ill help you get the wagon up. Thats mighty nice of you, Tom answered, But I dont think Dad would like me to. Aw, come on, son! the farmer insisted. Well, okay, the boy finally agreed. But Dad wont like it. After a hearty dinner, Tom thanked his host. I feel a lot better now, but I just know Dad is going to be real upset. Dont be foolish! exclaimed the neighbour. By the way, where is he? Under the wagon. There is a proverb i heard a long time ago. It says, don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is something that many of us deal with at one time or another in our life. Especially when we have to do something that is not fun to do at all. Ecclesiastes 9:10. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Many of us miss a lot of opportunities in our lives because we put off for tomorrow what we can do today and usually we have many good excuses to go with that. As a farmer you cannot afford to procrastinate because your farming is dependent on the different seasons. When it is the season to plant you had better plant because if you do not then it will be hard to do so when the rains come or you may miss the rains all together. Many times we don’t realise that our life is pretty much that way, it comes to us in seasons and sometimes we miss our opportunities simply because we missed a season because we were procrastinating. When you look at your life I am sure you can see areas where you have missed opportunities because you put off for tomorrow what you could do today. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. The sad thing is that many times we choose what to do with all out might and what not to do with all our might. Are you giving your all? Many complain about how the job they are doing is not well paying and many times I ask them, if you were paid what you think you deserve to be paid, would the quality of your work change? Many times the answer is yes meaning we are not giving our all. So what have you been putting off and saying you will do tomorrow? Make the time and get it done don’t put it off any longer you may be surprised to realise that it was the very thing that was clogging the system hindering your blessings from getting to you PRACTICAL APPLICATION Just get it done....TODAY!
