Episode 286: Can't wait

Romans 13:13-14 "We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence...Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourself in Christ, and be up and about!" Do you find yourself procrastinating? I know I do from time to time. Especially in doing those things that are not appealing or seem challenging. At the same time I admire those that seem to "get things done". Especially when those things are what most other people seem to avoid doing. Jesus was like that. He was very active in His life bringing about a great change in people and the world. We as Christians, and by Paul's words in today's verse, are called to do the same. To live with a purpose and passion. To be Christ-like in our days, living with an energy that brings about love and joy to this world. It can be difficult work, scary at times. But we mustn't put it off or procrastinate. It is important work to accomplish and we have that work to do.
