Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, Proverbs 18:9 (NIV) says, "One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys." The above verse from Ecclesiastes warns us that if we wait for "perfect conditions" to perform our tasks, we'll never accomplish anything. While procrastination robs us of blessings, God promises us great rewards for practicing diligence. The Bible says that diligent hands "bring wealth" and "will rule". (Proverbs 10:4 NIV; 12:24 NIV) And Proverbs 13:4 (NIV) says, "The desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."
Prayer: Lord, show me how to overcome procrastination, laziness, and passivity. Help me to practice diligence, and to tackle my obligations and tasks with vigor. Remind me that time is a precious resource that You have given us, and teach me to make the most of it. Thank You that my diligence will bring me heavenly and earthly rewards!
