If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.
Wow - that was my devotional today from Joshua 18:3 "How long ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your Fathers hath given you?" (KJV - sorry that's the one I have in front of me right now!)
What has kept me from really addressing the issue of Alcohol in my life for this long? I am not one to believe All alcohol is sin .... until it has you in bondage. Then it is Sin. So - the fact that I have been in bondage to Alcohol for so long really was a cross between sin and helplessness for me.
But what if I had not put this off so long and why did I? Fear. Fear until I was paralyzed with more fear! It reinforced my fears when I couldn't get started!
So if you find yourself putting off something ... Ask yourself how much harder it will be to do it if you keep putting it off? Ask God to show you how to overcome your fear; then do what he says. He wants you to succeed and live a fulfilled life. When you step out in faith, God is right there with you - Thanks be to Jesus Christ!
Blessing to your Sunday!
