Old Demons...

Do you have a problem or bad habit that you've been dealing with for what seems like your entire life? Have you tried numerous times to get rid of said bad habit over and over again only to repeat the offense at every turn?

That is my issue with procrastination.


I don't know what it is, but I always seem to wait to the last minute to get things done.! Or, worse still, I never get it done. Something in my brain always has convinced myself that I work best under the pressure of a ticking timeline, and I fall for the okey-doke every time.

I've tried everything I can think of to motivate myself to be more proactive, but all of my efforts have not made a lasting impact. No one's more disappointed about it than me.

Can I tell you the devil knows our numbers? Not to blame my procrastination on the devil. Lord knows, he only acts up as far as we let him... But he knows exactly where to hit us where it hurts. He knows the precise demon/distraction/confusion/heartache to send our way that will put up the best blockade against us reaching a goal.

There's a reason why you wrestle with the very thing you've been fighting all your life. Just imagine what you could accomplish if you finally vanquished that thing. I know my own life would improve exponentially.

Let's go before God and seriously get a strategy for dealing with our major issues. And then let's implement the plan. A lot of stuff God has already told us lies dormant due to lack of execution. (Procrastination, anyone?) We can do this! We can do all things through Christ! Let's kick that bad habit out of our lives once and for all!

Verse of the Day: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ... 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5
