“Moses said to Pharaoh, ‘I leave to you the honor of setting the time for me to pray for you and your officials and your people that you and your houses may be rid of the frogs, except for those that remain in the Nile.’ ‘Tomorrow,’ Pharaoh said.”
– Exodus 8:9,10
Can you believe that Pharaoh interrupts by saying, wait, wait, wait! This is what the Bible says: Not right now, do it tomorrow. Consider this: A single decision can have significant consequences. Pharaoh knew what the right choice was, but hesitated and said, tell God to remove the curses tomorrow, not today” Reflect on how that choice ultimately led to death. This highlights a troubling mindset in our generation: procrastination. It’s the mentality of “tomorrow” or “I’ll get to it later.” Friend, face your fears today—this will allow you to be blessed tomorrow! There will always be thoughts telling you, “I’ll start, just not yet.” This mindset can lead to stagnation. It may sound harsh, but deciding not to follow God’s will, especially in significant aspects of life, can lead to spiritual decline. Just as Pharaoh faced dire consequences, procrastinating can harm your soul. Don’t let that happen; ask God for help and the strength to move forward today! |
Prayer
Father, I seek your help and strength not to procrastinate and move forward today!
