The Cost of Procrastination When you procrastinate youre saying one of two things to yourself, Its easier to avoid this than to face it and thats wrong. The other one is It will be easier to handle this tomorrow (or later) and thats wrong too. The Bible tells us that there is a cost to procrastination. Procrastination causes problems -- Procrastination takes a problem and makes it a crisis. The longer you wait to start, the harder it is to begin. Procrastination wastes opportunities - If you wont plow in the cold, you wont eat at harvest. (Proverbs 20:4 LB) When opportunity knocks, open the door! Take the advantage while youve got it. If you dont, youll miss it. Procrastination hurts people -- Laziness prevents us from being loving. Love requires commitment, energy, and work. A lot of people just dont want to work at being loving; its easier to be lazy. Many marriages break up because one spouse -- perhaps both spouses - are unwilling to make the effort necessary to save the marriage. Prayerfully consider the price you may be paying for procrastination. Proverbs 15:19
