Procrastination is Extremely Dangerous

We're all guilty of putting things off that need to get done.

I see these once smaller problems like North Korea which turn into major nuclear destruction problems because so many US president put off, procrastinated in effectively dealing with the situation when it was more easily manageable.

I see the same thing with 'weakened by the fake-peace', Israel, which could have neutralized, defeated Hamas and Hezbollah long ago when it was   much easier than it will be now.  There will be thousands of dead in Israel because of  weak, lap dog, Israeli leaders procrastinating, failed to end the smaller threat (now a much greater threat) in order to please their Washington pimps.

I'm also reminded of this by a brother who waited till it was dangerously late in the icy evening to clean out his chimney as winter came early.

pray for him and his family during this trial and help them if you can

We're all going to go through many trials and Tribulation before we reach our  Kingdom home and it's important that we pray for one another to endure unto the end.


The lesson here is:

'Whatever it is, Get it done! Don't put it off any longer!' 


Some things we should not procrastinate in dealing with as the price for doing so is beyond our ability to fix in the next life.

The rich here in America, and around the world are busy with their $tuff, and put what it most important aside, to their eternal peril.  
They won't get a redo, it's over when they breathe their last breath here on this earth where all their $tuff is going to burn anyways.


The Rich Man and Lazarus

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day.  And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,  and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores.  Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.  And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’

But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.  And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’

 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house—  for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
 But Abraham *said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’

But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’

But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Luke 16

Palestinian tunnel rats, dead before they could kill anyone 




Islamic Jihad: Israel's threats against leadership 'a declaration of war'


 Maj. Gen. Yoav (Poli) Mordechai, who said that Israel is “aware of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's plot that is being formed against Israel,” before warning that it is “playing with fire” and that any attack would be met with “force” and “determination” as the IDF targets the group’s leadership.
Earlier on Sunday, a senior Islamic Jihad official in Gaza, Khaled al-Batash, said his terror organization will have no other choice to “punish” Israel for killing its members.

?

I don't know why Israel likes to procrastinate until these Muslim terrorists kill fellow Jews before they remove all the heads from these snakes ?

Preps for World War 3 well under way

X's 3




SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States and South Korea on Saturday started joint naval exercises that will involve three U.S. aircraft carriers in what military officials describe as a clear warning to North Korea.

It's the first time since a 2007 exercise near Guam that three U.S. carrier strike groups are operating together in the Western Pacific.

A turning point was the Western Obama-backed ouster of Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.


The transition of Chefou and men like him from vigilantes protecting their cows to jihadists capable of carrying out complex attacks is a story Western powers would do well to heed, as their pursuit of violent extremism in West Africa becomes ever more enmeshed in long-standing ethnic and clan conflicts.

Marcel,
Oh that hurt reading about Nathans accident! The spine is so delicate.

Years back I hit an ice covered bridge, and butted the windshield out with my head. I walked around in the interstate median for a few minutes. I thought the wetness was the melting snow which was coming down.
However it was my own blood covering me. A semi-driver ran over to me, his eyes looking with shock at me. He then pulled off his shirt and his T shirt and told me to hold it on my head, which I obediently did.

It took the ambulance a long time to get there. The pain was bad. They x-rayed the top of my head at the hospital, but not my neck? I did not know until a few years later that my neck was 3/4 broken through at C-7 vertebrae. If it had broken through I would either have died there on the interstate of been a quadriplegic, depending on how it broke. The LORD+ prevented that and I am alive for one purpose, TO SERVE AND OBEY HIM+.

There were other complications that I won't go into now ( Damaged central nervous system), but Nathan may have a lot of recovery time needed. It really hurt to read about his injury. I pray the LORD+ Touch his body and his spine and strengthen his family during his recovery.

Thank you for sharing this Marcel. Had no ides this had happened.

Hi Samson,
Amazing how extremely fragile we are, isn't it. Kind of keeps us humble, or at least it should.

What Nathan said about the other side of the roof where the drop was 30 feet did it for me.
It's a testament to how the Lord keeps us and can keep us every day until it's HIS TIME !

I almost moved to Franklin N.C. years ago until is saw how far down the cars and truck had to go to hit bottom if they slid off the road.
It was back to the flat lands although I love the mountains.

I'll bet you never did that windshield thing again. What an amazing God we serve who keeps us to the inth of an inch with our lives.

Back around May I was up on my pitch metal roof
cleaning the leaves and branches off and there was a light drizzle which turned the green slime into black ice.
I really couldn't move without a serious and fast slide and fall.
Sensing the serious danger I was in I prayed for help, a way out. Got on my knees, took my shirt off, and removed the wet slippery slime off my path to get back to the ladder, took my shoes off and used the socks to clear more of the slime, got down safe and KNEW
the Lord had spared me from a very bad day, week, possible month and end of days ?

I once kissed a steering wheel and it was a bit of a mess, but a great life lesson indeed.
Praise God, HE never gives us more than we can handle and always provides a valuable lesson for us, a testimony to remember what He did in sparring us from an early death.
Thank you for sharing brother, have a blessed week !

Re: procrastination--Behold, NOW is the acceptable time, NOW is the day of salvation!

Of course, the pols are going to procrastinate with anything even slightly distasteful. It's called "kicking the can down the road". They don't want their cushy sinecures marred by the duties of their elected offices. I've often thought that somehow we've got to get control of the conditions of their employment, but how? THEY are the ones who set the terms of their own employment. How's that working for us? The only thing we have power over is to elect or not, and you can see that's a major motivating factor with them. Many of them spend over half their working hours on the phone raising money for their next election campaigns.

But having said that, our salvation is NOT in the political process or realm. The battle is much MUCH bigger. Blessings to you.

BTW--Nathan, were it not for the LORD's grace, could've easily landed on his head and been killed or a quad. His voice for the LORD could've been stopped, and the evil one rejoicing, but God had other plans. Hallelujah!

Marcel Cousineau said...

Amen !
I was going to put a picture of the 4 presidents and under it "kicking the can down the road gang"

Its become so corrupt that there is no healing 'fix " possible just as Jeremiah 51 says.

I read Ezekiel 16 this morning and it's always the same, a repeat of history again and again with we humans who like pigs always find our way back to the sewage to live and die in.

Like Job God allowed this to happen to Nathan for a reason.

It's great to be at the bottom, humbled, wretched and broken, totally a dependent child of the LORD, no place else left to fall.

How true, Marcel. "A dog returns to its vomit, and a pig to her wallowing in the mire". I want to go on to holiness, "without which no one will see the LORD". Blessings to you, brother.

Marcel Cousineau said...

amen.
Holiness, something I don't hear much from pastors or anyone today.
