Not Tomorrow

---

“Do it tomorrow…’ Exodus 8:10

Every plague God sent on Egypt mocked one of their gods. For instance, the Egyptians worshipped a goddess with the head of a frog, so God sent them a lot of frogs.

Finally, Pharaoh called for Moses and basically said, ‘All right, I give up.’ But when Moses asked him, ‘When do you want me to get rid of the frogs?’ Pharaoh’s response was classic; he said, ‘Tomorrow.’ Can you imagine! Why would anyone wait till tomorrow to have the frogs removed?

But we also do the same. We procrastinate by putting off the changes we know would be good for us. Maybe we are unconcerned or too lethargic to change. Maybe we are fearful because we don’t know what the changes will entail. Maybe we are just too proud and stubborn.

Whatever the reason, we procrastinate. Space engineers say that most of the fuel that is used in a rocket launch is burned during the initial few seconds of lift-off. It takes enormous energy and thrust to move the rocket off the launching pad. Once it’s moving and headed for space, it needs much less fuel and is simpler to control and direct. It has conquered the inertia.

It’s one thing to know God can solve your problem and change your life. It is another matter to overcome your inertia and let Him begin to do it now! We keep saying, ‘One of these days…’ The truth is, Jesus Christ has the power to make changes in your life today. He will give you the power to begin and the power to keep going. It’s not too late. So the word for you is, not tomorrow, but today!
