finishing up my assignment because its due last wed and procrastinating pretty much most of the time... (:(
I got a smacked in the head earlier on before I posted this blog by Josh Harris'video about Self control. He doesnt specifically talks about lazy in study but the idea is there. As I've been struggling with laziness and lacking of motivation for a few weeks now, God slap me in the face and wake me up to do other things that I should be doing instead of procrastinating and procrastinating... Investing my time in a more useful things than just sitting in front of the computer for the whole day and just never stop till the night comes and I get tired.
I keep telling myself to study faithfully but what I've been doing is not studying faithfully becoz procrastinating is deffinitely not a form of studying faithfully. What would studying faithfully looks like in a day to day basis???
- it means i would use my time wisely
- it means i have to control myself not to procrastinate
- it means that i would rely on God regardless on the results i get
- it doesnt mean that i have to study 24/7 but it means that i have to be commited in all other things that i have to do as well apart from studying
- it means im doing my best and not being lazy with my study
Matthew 25:14-30 ("The parable of the talent) encourages us not to be like the lazy servant who did not do anything regarding the talent that was given to him and thus the master took away the talent and give it to the other dilligent servant. I am given the opportunity to study and if what i do is being lazy and not using the opportunity given wisely, God might take away my opportunity and give it to other people and it would be too late for me to regret.
I personally thank God for the bible which reminds me to the fact that I am so lucky to have this opportunity to study that I often take for granted and I would continue to pray that as brothers and sisters in Christ, we would encourage and remind one another not to be lazy in terms of anything that we do and I pray that we would glorify God's name in all things that we do.
"Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
1 Peter 2: 12
