Part 2...Okay I Had to Come Back

I noticed something today... I get this feeling/thought/glimpse of what I'm to do. The thought, then feeling that follows says, "I don't need to do that today." Then this twinge of something happens that is very fast. I caught it today. This is what procrastination is. Its is like a 2 faced monster that smiles on one side and you feel good that you think about doing what you should do, but all the while on the other side it is enticing you to sabotage your progress by delaying or waiting which will result in inactivity. OMG! So the thing that this occurred with was working out (riding my stationary bike), which I don't normally do on Sunday, but what does the day have to do with anything? I haven't worked out in the past couple days so doing this work would be good. Instead of giving into to those justifying thoughts of not doing it, I did it. While riding listening to my music, Marvin Sapp came on "I Never Would've Made It". I listen and sang along the first time, but I felt a need for a replay. This time worshipping on the bike. I know my speed was faster because of how my legs and behind felt after the ride. I'm better because of it and calories have been mutilated too! It's important that I catch that things that is quick/a glimpse the that happens seconds before procrastination is decided.

So, as I was coming upstairs, a part of scripture came to me, "most holy faith". In scanning www.bible.com; it is Jude 1:20...check out the text:

17 -19But remember, dear friends, that the apostles of our Master, Jesus Christ, told us this would happen: "In the last days there will be people who don't take these things seriously anymore. They'll treat them like a joke, and make a religion of their own whims and lusts." These are the ones who split churches, thinking only of themselves. There's nothing to them, no sign of the Spirit!

20 -21But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!

22 -23Go easy on those who hesitate in the faith. Go after those who take the wrong way. Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin. The sin itself stinks to high heaven.

24 -25And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating—to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Yes.

Message Bible. I shall obey. Good Night. Sweet dreams.
