Procrastination

In my life I have found it easy to say well I will do that when this project is done, or when my life is under control. It is easy to say I want to do that, but then something else comes up and I don't do it. I have found so it is with my Christian walk. It is so easy saying I will go deeper in my relationship with Jesus Christ when things work out in my life, or when I feel better, or when the cows come home. I procrastinate what I should do today till tomorrow, but the question is what happens if tomorrow does not come?

I don't want to put off the things that I have been putting off for fear that it will change my life, or maybe I will not be as fun as I once was. Will I become a boring Christian? I believe we can look at the people around us and we can point fingers, say they aren't doing it, why should I. But the problem in doing that is we are not to compare ourselves with others, we are to be different. We are called to a higher standard and by just walking the fence it is no place to be. My life has been walking the fence, but true repentance is saying please forgive me for my procrastination and doing a 180 turn from it. It isn't saying please forgive me and doing a 360, because we will be right back where we left off.

It is a personal call to being accountable for my actions, it is a call to put my faith where my mouth is instead of being a fence walker, being what God has called me to be. It is in laying down my life for Him and surrendering my will to Him. Life is not about Geoff, it is about God. It is about what He wants, not what I want. Because it is not my will, but God's will. The bigger God gets in our lives, the smaller our problems become.

Stop putting off what should be done today, for tomorrow may not come. I don't want to be standing before God and He say Geoff why didn't you do this and I say well I thought I had tomorrow or I wasn't ready. Are we ever ready for change? What is God saying to you today?

When we lay down our lives for God, we learn about love, peace, joy and so much more. Don't lose hope for today is the beginning of something much greater then I can imagine.
