Don’t Procrastinate

“These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.” 1 Chronicles 12:15

The above verse is about some of the Mighty Men of David.

These particular set of warriors had this sterling quality that is worth pointing out – they were not procrastinators!

Notice that these men decided to cross the Jordan river when it was at flood stage!

They didn’t wait till the river receded, but rather, boldly crossed when it was the most dangerous!

And because of this boldness they were described as mighty men whose faces were like the faces of lions with the swiftness of gazelles – they crossed the river without fear or hesitation.

Their boldness and courage set fear into the hearts of their enemies who trembled before the daring spirit of these men, and they fled before them to the east and to the west!

In these last days the enemy of our souls would love to strike terror in our hearts, but there is only ONE whom we should fear, with a reverential and Holy fear – our awesome Creator!

Is there an obstacle before you at this time – a “flooded river” that stands to stop your advance? Don’t procrastinate if you know the Lord’s will – go boldly, press forward, without hesitation!

He will go before you and strike terror in the hearts of your enemies!

“I will send my terror ahead of you and create panic among all the people whose lands you invade. I will make all your enemies turn and run.” Exodus 23:27
