Advent: Day 3

Why do many of us procrastinate? Is it to exert control over what they can and can't do?

Waiting, however, is not procrastinating. In waiting, there is a measure of patience and an expectation that the wait, might be long. We are not delaying in what needs to be done, but instead waiting to do when it needs to be done or will be done to us.

As we wait for the coming of our Lord, we are told that we will be redeemed, when He comes. Redeemed from who? Those who persecute us? I don't think so. I believe we will be redeemed from our very flaws, flaws like procrastination.

We wait O Lord for you to redeem us from the things that we know we need to do, but won't.
