Last night on Glee character Kurt Hummel bemoaned, “Now the future has the nerve to show up and it wants us to do something and it’s not willing to give a lending hand.” Many if not most of us are procrastinators. There’s always some reason to put off tackling a necessary task. Sometimes we put off really important things; reconciling a relationship, planning for retirement, getting a physical, giving our pre-teens “the talk.” Then suddenly the future has the nerve to show up and we are unprepared. As a pastor, I am concerned for those who have yet to give their life to Christ. There will be a day when we are each held accountable for our life. For some that time may come sooner than expected. Don’t put off making Jesus Lord of your Life. When the future shows up God is there for those who believe. Be a believer.
Dear God, We would like to put off things that need to be done. We feel there is always tomorrow. Yet God, help us in planning our priorities. Help us not to be unprepared when the future shows up. In Christ’s name, Amen.
