When I was a child my mother called me ‘The Just a Minute Kid.’ When ever she asked me to do something my response was always, ‘Just a Minute.’ Of course it was always more than a minute. When I did respond it was because I recognized the change in her tone of voice.
My experience with procrastination began at an early age. It’s not something I learned. I believe I was born with it. This was first evidenced by my reluctance to leave the womb on time. It’s not a desirable trait, and I have to work hard not to practice it.
Mañana - putting off today what can be done tomorrow, can have some devastating results. When I was a child it was usually a swat on the behind. But if I put off going to the dentist or the doctor, the result could be far worse, even to the point of death due to a disease that went undetected.
Natural procrastination affects many people, but a lot also practice spiritual procrastination. Many have heard the gospel and said “I’ll accept the Lord when I’m older. Right now I want to experience what life has to offer.” This delay may result in spiritual death. But receiving Jesus brings eternal life with God. Read I Cor. 5:2 “Now is the day of salvation.”
