“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
― Abraham Lincoln
Abe had that one nailed. How many times did we tell ourselves we waited too long and regretted not tackling it immediately? Sadly, it was too late.
Does the Bible address this phenomenon? Glad you asked.
Proverbs 24:30-34
30 I went by the field of the lazy man,
And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;
Its surface was covered with nettles;
Its stone wall was broken down.
32 When I saw it, I considered it well;
I looked on it and received instruction:
33 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
34 So shall your poverty come like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
Get out there and go to work. Give it some thought.
