Don’t Put it Off
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“I made haste, and did not delay to keep Your commandments.”
(Psalm 119:60, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Isn’t it interesting how easy it is to put things off? We plan on doing something. We have good intentions. We want to do it, but we just think we’ll get to it later. “One day I’m going to start exercising. One day I’m going to get my finances in order. One day I’m going to forgive that person who hurt me.” The problem with this kind of thinking is that “one day” never comes. There will always be some reason to keep delaying it.

Is there something in your heart that you know you need to do? Maybe God has been dealing with you, and you keep putting it off. You think, “As soon as I get through this busy season, then I’ll spend more time with my family. As soon as the price of gas goes down, then I’ll start tithing my income. As soon as my child gets out of diapers, then I’m going to get my family back in church.” The problem is that good intentions don’t equal obedience. The quicker you do what you feel down in your spirit, the happier you’re going to be. Don’t let unfinished business keep you from God’s best. Step out. Obey His voice and walk in the blessing He has for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for Your patience and grace toward me. Search my heart. Lead me in Your ways. I choose to obey Your voice quickly and honor You in all that I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Procrastination can be deadly. Putting off, can not only leave things inside to fester, it can prevent us from healing. Procrastination means we are not open and not willing to do what ever it takes to stay clean and sober.

The program isn't about marking time in today, it is about each day is a new beginning and a new chance at recovery.
