MEMORISE: See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise – Ephesians 5:15
BIBLE READING: Ephesians 5:15-16
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
MESSAGE:
Some people love putting off working on important tasks until it is almost too late. That is procrastination, and I have discovered that when a person makes procrastination a habit, he or she will eventually become a victim in life.
Some teenagers prefer to do things at their convenience, but this is not the best approach. Time is precious, and God wants us to use it wisely. Every time you postpone or ignore a task that should be done immediately, you may face consequences that you would have avoided. If you are wise, you will complete your tasks promptly, ensuring that the blessings and rewards that are meant for you will not be lost.
Laziness and procrastination can hinder God’s move in a person’s life, family, church, or community. My dear child, do not be the kind of person who is complacent about taking responsibilities. Instead, develop a diligent mindset and do things as early as you can. Don’t delay until tomorrow what you can do today.
KEY POINT:
Procrastination is a bad habit. Do things as soon as you can do them.
