DON'T PUT IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW=THINK ABOUT IT TODAY
DON'T PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW=
THINK ABOUT IT TODAY
There used to be an old saying:
“Don't put off until tomorrow-
WHAT you can DO today”
I'll put it ANOTHER WAY
Don't PROCRASTINATE in your thinking=
THINK about what a GREAT GOD
You have=a God that LOVES YOU
And in my OWN LIFE
A FAMILY and friends who love me
As well as churches
Who SUPPORT ME
THINK about it TODAY
Think about what a GREAT LIFE
You have=don't put off these
POSITIVE THOUGHTS until tomorrow
“BLESSED be the God
Of Shadrach-Meshach-and Abednego
Who sent his ANGELS
To DELIVER the servants
That TRUSTED him” Daniel 3:95
YES-God delivered
His servants of yesterday
And he will DELIVER US-his servants
Of today- too
“For he will
DELIVER the needy
Who cry out
The afflicted
Who have no one
To HELP” Psalm 72:12
“MAY your supplication
Come before you
DELIVER me
According to your PROMISE” Psalm 119:170
Don't put it off
Until tomorrow
Think abut it today
The Lord is WORKING
On your behalf
Your HELP is coming
Coming SOONER-
Rather than later
Maybe as soon as TODAY
So MANY of us
Are first-class procrastinators
Especially where our
Own mortality is concerned
The TRUTH IS:
We are ONLY guaranteed two moments
In life-this moment-
And the moment
GOD calls us home
As CHRISTIANS-we have NO excuse
For being procrastinators-
For the gospels tell us-
We could die at ANY moment
And we NEVER KNOW
When the Lord-may come AGAIN
We are to be
READY for the Lord
As CHRISTIANS-we are to LIVE with hope
TRUST in the Lord
Be ready
For the COMING of the Lord
“TRUST in the Lord
With ALL your heart
And lean not
ON your own understanding” Proverbs 3:5
“NOW it is required
That those
Who have been GIVEN a TRUST
Must prove faithful” 1 Corinthians 4:2
Shadrach-Meschach-and Abednego
Had to THINK about it TODAY
They were thrown
Into the FIRE-literally
They were facing
CERTAIN DEATH
Like I was some 40 years ago
THINK about God TODAY
Think about your LIFE today
God DELIVERED these 3 servants=
And he delivered me=a long time ago=
And my LIFE is going well
Dear Lord-HELP US to NOT put off
The thought of you
And think about becoming a WILLING SERVANT
Of yours-TODAY-
TOMORROW-and ALL the tomorrows
Of our life
