Sadly, there are many people in our world who live in the state of tomorrow.<\/strong> By that term I mean those folks who put off until tomorrow what they should (and could) have done “today.<\/strong>” Remember, “tomorrow<\/strong>” is not promised (James 4:13-15. cf. 1 Corinthians 16:7).<\/p>\n

Many folks are procrastinators. In my line of work (mail room sorter\/distributor\/expediter), I notice that some people wait until Friday at 3:30 p.m. or later (we close at 4:30 p.m.) in order to bring their suddenly important mail to the mail room to be stamped and carried to the Post Office.<\/p>\n

Why is it that people unnecessarily wait until the last minute in order to get something accomplished?<\/p>\n

Let me suggest three reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> Poor (or no) planning on their part (see Matthew 25:1-13).<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> Getting involved in doing too many insignificant things and forgetting the most important thing<\/strong> (take Martha, for instance – Luke 10:38-42).<\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> Some people just like drama in their life; they enjoy making things so complicated that at the last moment of time, a deadline not met suddenly becomes someone elses emergency! (Note that an emergency on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The bottom line is this: Never live in the state of tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever task is assigned to us today should be completed today if humanly possible. This will immediately alleviate the above three reasons for not getting something done today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a spiritual plane, are we putting off becoming obedient to the saving gospel of Christ until tomorrow<\/strong> (or Friday at 3:30 p.m. ?).<\/p>\n

Remember, now<\/strong><\/em> [today<\/strong>] is the accepted time<\/em>; behold<\/em>, now <\/strong><\/em>[today]<\/strong> is the day of salvation<\/em> (2 Corinthians 6:2) – emphasis mine. Tomorrow may be too late!<\/strong><\/p>\n
