Hebrews 4:6-7, Today we have rest

Google defines procrastination as the action of delaying or postponing something, but I say we could expand this definition by saying it is the chosen way of handling everything by the current generation. Aaron Burr once said, “Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” His viewpoint was that delay would give you more time to analyze the job a clearer insight in how to do it properly but today’s generation just wants to put things off so they don’t have to do them now. It is ok to delay doing things of low importance but there is something in life that demand immediate attention and can not be delayed. The author of Hebrews gives us one such example in verses six and seven when he said that God has set a certain day to enter His rest, that day is “TODAY.” He then quotes David from Psalm 95:7-8 and says “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

2 Corinthians 6:2 says that today is the day of salvation, also implying that TODAY is the day to turn things over to God and that it is not to be delayed. Why would you delay something so important as eternal salvation? Why would you take a chance on missing out on something that so valuable and highly treasured? So many people want to fight or delay the calling of God the voice of God in their life but as the scripture says, do not harden your hearts and obey God’s voice. When the Holy Spirit deals with the heart of an individual, God is sending a personal invitation for you to enter His rest and into His family. Procrastinating when it comes to the calling of God upon your heart is not wise because none of us know when we will leave this earth, we may not have another hour, day, or year to make things right before we leave this earth. So “Today” is the right time for you to search your heart and see if it truly belongs to God, do not hesitate, delay, or procrastinate.
