You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. (James 4:14) Procrastination has been around for a long time. (Just read Isaiah 56:12). The Bible indicates an urgency in the Gospel message. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2). The time for obedience is now! We cannot count on tomorrow. Take advantage of today. According to James, knowledge & responsibility work together. To sin ignorantly is one thing, but to sin in the face of known truth is quite another. Statements from our Lord & from the Apostle Peter confirm the truth that James presents in verse 17: We are held accountable for what we know but fail (or choose not) to do (Luke 12:47-48; 2 Peter 2:21). Sins of omission are just as serious as sins of commission. To omit God from the planning processes of our lives, knowing that we should include Him, is sin!
