Don't Save for Tomorrow What You Can Do Today

Acts 24:25-27


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.” Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him. But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.


Amongst all the young people of America, this is our thing; procrastination.
Tackling one of the biggest devils in our faces is a big deal!


School work, homework, chores, duties, you name it! All of these things are vital in our daily lives, yet we tend with the trend to push it back.


Although many of us have mastered the art of procrastination, it is something that is taken lightly among us. But, this is a Biblical standpoint of how detrimental procrastination truly is!


Paul had been communicating the Gospel to Felix but he pushed it back. He'd been enjoying the conversations with the imprisoned apostle, yet he did not make any commitment due to procrastination. Maybe the severity of the situation is not really understood amongst ourselves. There are dangers in procrastinating!


When we push things back, we tend to continue to do so. It had been two whole years with opportunity to experience the goodness of God for Felix, yet his procrastination got in the way of his blessings! Listen, exchanging words is not enough for Biblical based salvation!


Here's what I'm saying:
DON'T SAVE FOR TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY!


This is a struggle for many people in our day in age! Simply pushing things back as they come up is the wrong way to handle things. We are to live each day as our last!


Here's revelation: 
The Word of God declares that tomorrow is not promised. Furthermore, it is written, Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happentomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. James 4:13-17


It is revealed as sin! Being more specific, saying we'll do tomorrow what we can do today is boasting about tomorrow. Hence it is recalled as sin being that we don't know what tomorrow brings. We are to live TODAY and hope for TOMORROW. Hear me out, if you feel drawn to God today, respond today and don't wait for tomorrow for you do not know what tomorrow brings. Learn from the examples already presented:


Hebrews 3:12-19
Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:

         “ Today, if you will hear His voice,
      Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.


Therefore, don't save for tomorrow what you can do today... do it TODAY!
