Why do we have a tendency to want to put off doing something until the last minute knowing all along we have to do it! We dread doing it, we fear it, we thing about it and think about it some more! Talking to ourselves, encouraging ourselves, you can do this!!! And finally the deadline comes, we take that deep breath and stepout then…..It’s over and we think to ourselves, WHY?, did I make myself go through all this to do something that actually took so little effort and could have been completed the very day it was conceived! Oh yes, I have a tendency to put things off!
But as I think about this and how it can examplify eternity, I know there are a lot of folks who know deep in their hearts that there is a final judgement for each one of us and they think, well I have plenty of time to make that choice, I will do that later because right now I want to do this or that and making that kind of committment would ruin my fun and they put off the most important thing in life and in truth, the most enjoyable thing, asking Jesus to forgive our sin and to come into my life. The fact is none of us know what will happen in a minute, an hour, a day or the tomorrow that may never come! Hmmm!
Just a thought, just saying!
