Don't Procrastinate
But the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit (the work which His presence within accomplishes) is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law (that can bring a charge). Galatians 5:22-23
The Bible says that we are to "be doers of the Word (obey the message), and not merely listeners to it" (James 1:22). In other words, we are to apply its teaching to our everyday lives.
Procrastination is one of the greatest barriers to putting God's word into action in our lives. It takes self-control to do something, and it also takes self-control not to do something. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit that comes into our lives by spending time with God. Ask God to fill you with the power of self-control in order to overcome procrastination and be a doer of the Word.
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
