It’s Time To Get Back On Track....

“Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest.” Proverbs 20:4

Here in southeastern Georgia, spring and its mild temperatures don’t linger around long at all. Summer quickly pushes Spring out of the way with it’s 85 and above temperatures early. Although the calendar may say that it is still Spring....the temperature says, “Hello Summer!”

With that being said, because spring doesn't last long here, I typically don’t get Spring Fever much....I head right into the Lazy Days of Summer!

Yes, I must confess that for the past few weeks I have been extremely LAZY! It’s not something that I am proud of at all....especially because I know that Proverbs 20:4 is true...”Those too lazy to plow in the right season will have no food at the harvest”. I am so embarrassed to report that I have not worked out in almost 4 weeks, I can’t remember the last time that I have cooked a healthy meal....and even my times of devotions have been shortened because I chose the snooze button over reading. How will I ever reach my goals if I continue down this path?

I am already seeing the negative effects of my laziness....and I don’t like it! How did I get here?
I could come up with many excuses to explain what brought on this change in my behavior and some might be very valid....but I won’t. You know I could have kept this confession to myself but it’s time to come clean and hold myself accountable.

It’s so easy to fall back into old habits, old lifestyles - to return to what is safe and familiar. I’m sure I am not alone in this struggle. What is your struggle?...Sexual sin, puffing on cigarettes, lying and cheating, drinking every night, missing Sunday Services, not praying, profane language, anger issues......have I called yours out yet?

Matthew 26:41 says “Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” We all struggle with personal issues....big and small. Thankfully, we have a Savior who knows our weaknesses and who is willing to help us during our times of struggle....we just have to turn to him and trust him. When we fall, we can get up and start again.

It’s time to get back on track....

So, it’s time for me to pull out and dust off those goals from earlier this year....time to review, modify and even make some new ones. Gotta get my focus back!

But first, I need to get out of this bed and stop being so LAZY!



In sisterly love,
Sasha
