It’s time to deal with my bad habits. Let’s start with procrastination (even though I’d rather put it off).
Proverbs 6:10-11 (NKJV)
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
What goes in place of procrastination? I’ll aim for diligence.
2 Peter 1:5
… giving all diligence, add to your faith …
Lord, You know how I put things off. Let’s put an end to it, right here, right now. Equip me with the diligence to start promptly, work carefully and finish the job.
Somehow I think God is quite lenient in suggesting that 94 year-olds should avoid sleeping and resting. At least I hope so. However, sometimes we still need to be told not to procrastinate!
Don’t put off taking a much-needed nap!
Shirlee, this is exactly what I needed, especially given the extensive memorization, reading, and understanding required for to succeed in my upcoming Board exam. Your straightforwardness and your prayers that align with my own mean a lot to me. Shirlee, please continue your journey guided by your faith. Your dedication to living a life centered around Jesus is truly inspirational, and I find myself deeply inspired by you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to everyone! Keep moving for Jesus.
Thank you, Kay, for your kind words. May God reward your diligence as you take your Board exam. You’ve come this far by faith!
