"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."
Proverbs 6:6-8
To be clear, I am not labeling anyone a sluggard. :) It is an interesting set of verses though, and we probably deserve the appellation at times. It can be hard to be self-motivated, and so we often wait for some external motivation to push us to do things that we already know we should do.
Today, let's take the good advice here and jump in and do some things that we've been putting off. Maybe cleaning, laundry, taxes... or whatever else that we know we need to get around to. Things usually aren't as bad as they seem if we just start getting them done. :)
And hey... let's remember that God can help us with motivation as well. If our procrastination is impacting our lives negatively, let's go to the Lord and ask for help. He will give it. Maybe not always in the way that we expect, but help will come. :)
