The Procrastination
Of
Priorities
“Consider Your Ways”
Haggai 1:7
Most of us are guilty of this at one time or another.
We KNOW we need to do something really important,
but instead we say to ourselves:
“I’ll Do That Tomorrow”
...and re-prioritize something else in its place,
and today’s quote from the rather obscure book
of Haggai is an excellent example of this.
In this account the Jews, who had recently returned from forced years
of exile and slavery in Babylon, were repatriated back to Israel
and celebrating their homecoming. Instead of being thankful to God
and restoring the central part of their identity by rebuilding the temple
that had been previously destroyed, they pushed that off to another time
to revel in their new-found freedom.
This was huge.
Here, the central essence of who they were as a nation was set aside, because
instead of doing something Really Important they prioritized
pursuing their own interests.
If this sounds familiar “Consider Your Ways”
if you have ever placed Work, Wealth, or Wonton Pleasure over
Faith, Family, or Fidelity.
At one time or another, we all have.
Friend, while there is nothing wrong with enjoying life
but if you procrastinate or prioritize things that are less
important than what you need to do invariably the end result
will not be the blessing you could have had, but instead
when you prioritize God’s Will and Plan for your life,
you will NEVER go wrong!
What are your priorities for today?
God Bless Your Day
