#502: The Danger of Procrastination
Show Notes

The Big Idea: 

Time is a gift.  Your life is a gift.  You and I are managers of the time God has given us. As we start this new year consider what God is calling you to do. Don’t procrastinate. What steps do you need to take this month, this year to re-arrange your priorities to put God first in your life?


Main Points:

1. Live your life on purpose, not on accident.  Why should we be careful?  Because followers of Christ live in a way to honor God.  Everything matters!  We are also careful because we know that our lives are an example to others!
2. It’s important that we investigate and find out where our time is going.  Are you losing time?  Are you wasting time?  Where is it going?  Let’s identify the time-wasters.
3. Whatever God is saying to you to do…do it now.  If you are planning to live for Christ do it now!  If you are going to use your time, resources, and gifts for God, don’t mess around.  Don’t make excuses.  Use the time God has given you now.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Proverbs 13:4 - “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”

Haggai 1:7 – “This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.”
