It can wait until tomorrow Learned traits to stop procrastination: Duty – Luke 17:10 Best effort – Eccl. 9:10 Dependability – 1 Cor. 4:2 Urgency – Rom. 13:11 Accountability – Eccl. 12:13-14 Luke 17:10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.' " Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. (14) For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

The dangers of procrastination Tomorrow may never come – Luke 12:19-21 No easy time – Acts 24:25 Problems may get worse – 2 Tim. 3:13 Luke 12:19-21 "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." ' (20) But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' (21) "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Acts 24:25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you." 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

The dangers of procrastination Tomorrow may never come – Luke 12:19-21 No easy time – Acts 24:25 Problems may get worse – 2 Tim. 3:13 Success may get harder – Jer. 5:3 Apathy may grow – Rev. 3:15-16 The doing may never get done – Acts 17:32 Jeremiah 5:3 O LORD, are not Your eyes on the truth? You have stricken them, But they have not grieved; You have consumed them, But they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than rock; They have refused to return. Revelation 3:15-16 "'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! (16) So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Acts 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."

Do not delay Searching for spiritual truth – Acts 8:30-31 Judging truth from error – Acts 17:11 Making up your mind – Acts 2:37 Acts 8:30-31 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" (31) And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. Acts 17:11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?“

Do not delay Searching for spiritual truth – Acts 8:30-31 Judging truth from error – Acts 17:11 Making up your mind – Acts 2:37 Responding to truth – Acts 22:16 Your spiritual growth – 1 Peter 2:2 Making changes in your life – Rom. 6:13 Acts 22:16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.' 1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, Romans 6:13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
