Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:“ Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

How many of you have been guilty of procrastination? I know that I have, and at times find myself falling into it. Webster’s defines procrastination as putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention.

If I procrastinate in certain areas of my life, how many times do I make the Lord wait? How many times has the Holy Spirit nudged me to do something, but excuses abound.

• There’s no hurry
• I can do that later
• There’s time
• I don’t have the right materials

Yet I procrastinate.

Wait, I have better excuses.

• God does not want me to do or say that
• I’m not qualified
• I’m not ready
• I need confirmation by at least ten people
• I don’t have room to hold meetings

Can you imagine God’s frustration with me? I can.

Guess what. God wants you, yes you, to carry out His work upon the earth. He is calling His bride, and it is He that has placed that burning desire in your heart.

Jesus is coming back soon, very soon, and God needs us to do the work before His return.

So what sets us apart from the rest?

We are mature Christians

We don’t drink milk any longer, but eat meat. God is the one that qualifies, and not man. God knows you are ready, willing and able. God gives us the courage to go forward, and it is He we put our trust in. God has put our faith and trust in us, and we can go ahead and do what we have always wanted to do, for Him, and for us.

Yes, there is personal satisfaction that comes with accomplishing something, and that encourages us and motivates us to go forward and do more.

Shake off that procrastination, and gear up and roar like that mighty lion and let His voice be heard throughout the earth.
