Procrastination

    The story is told of a Finnish infidel who died.  Upon examination of his will by his family and friends, they discovered that he had willed all his property, house and material possessions to the devil.  Perplexed as to how someone could leave something to the devil, the family pursued the case to court. 

   After several months, the judge in the case had finally reached a decision. As the community gathered to hear the verdict, the judge declared, "It is decided that the best way to carry out the request of the deceased is to allow the farm to grow weeds, the soil to erode, and the house and barn to rot.  In our opinion, the best way to leave something to the devil is to do nothing."

   Many individuals think that doing nothing spiritually is safe, but in reality to do nothing is dangerous.  Procrastination is the assassination of motivation.  1 John 3:8 says "the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.  The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil."  Let's not help the devil's work.
