One More Time - Mañana, Mañana, Mañana is good enough
for me! ☛Probing Proverbs 6:3-5 follow my
advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy.
Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased. Don’t put it off;
do it now! Don’t rest until you do. Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from
a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.☚ That old nemesis…procrastination!...
Why do now what you can put off until
tomorrow?? Wisdom has already warned us about becoming indebted to someone, but
continues with a clear warning about what most of us usually do…”getting to it
later”, or “when I find the time.” The only “time” anyone ever “finds” is when
they discover a watch on the ground that someone dropped!
Here the Scripture
uses the reality of nature as an illustration – if gazelles or birds relax and
take their time…we will be enjoying them as a MEAL! When God leads us to do
something or stop doing something, the wise thing to do is to act on that immediately.
When there is a sense of urgency in our life when it comes to following God, we
will find that we have a much greater harmony in our spirit, and a deeper
intimacy with the Lord if we obey right away. The only thing we should put off
is “the old man of our sin nature”!
