Procrastination

I love Will Rogers' quote, "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
 Many times we have great intentions. We're going to….. Read a good book, start a new business, lose weight.  For some reason, we never quite get around to taking that first step. I am guilty too many times of Procrastination. Procrastination is when you run into some difficulty in what you are doing, so you put it down with all intentions of returning to it right away.  In the mean time you start something else that at the time seems more important or has fewer problems. We just don't have the time and as you well know you can't make time. True there are only 24 hours in a day but what if I could show you how you could have an extra 182 and ½ hours per year; would that interest you? If you eliminate just one ½ hour of television watching each day that would give you 182 and ½ hours per year to devote to your family and friends, your hobbies, or your self-development. Could that benefit you as well as others? What if  we were to  help just one person, friend, coworker or family member each week?  Within a year, we would have helped over 45 more people with our knowledge and kindness. What impact do you think that might make on others? The possibilities are endless! What small changes can we make that will add up over time? Find those opportunities and seize the moment. You, as well as others will be glad you did. One day the Apostle Paul had the opportunity to speak with King Agrippa. I love what Paul said to him in Acts 26:2  I think myself happy,king Agrippa, We all have the ability to think ourselves happy as well as glad and sad. This day as Paul spoke with the King he was thinking happy and I am sure his face showed it. As the King listen, Paul told him of Jesus Christ rising from the dead and the salvation of all man kind as well as his personal salvation experience. The King listened and was asked, do you believe what I am saying? Paul says I know you believe. Then King Agrippa said something that many have said.  Act 26:28  Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. The King listens and was asked and then put it off for another time. That is procrastination to the saddest degree. He knew and was told what to do and then put it off for another day. The sad thing is that we never read of that day coming. Has God ever sent someone by to speak with you?  You believed what they said and there was no doubt you needed a savior, but you said not today I have plenty of time! Be careful for you may be like the King and that would be a sad thing.   I know that's not in your plans.
