The word ‘procrastination’ is disliked by procrastinators because of its negative connotations. The procrastinator’s motto is, “Put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today.” Benjamin Franklin wrote in Poor Richard’s Almanac, “Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.”
While postponements may be the first choice, unrestricted delays contribute to procrastination’s becoming a habit. However, postponements are necessary if, for example, purchasing an expensive item would wreck personal finances. Postponing a career to have a family can be fulfilling for a woman who is in a position to do.
Yet, neglecting to make an important decision because of this habit can create repercussions that may continue indefinitely. So let today be the day of deliverance by coming “near to God and he will come near to you.” Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart at this moment, so go ahead and open it.
