Resting in Gods Peace

b'Have you ever noticed yourself procrastinating when you know you have a lot to do? Perhaps you put off preparing because you\\u2019re overwhelmed by the work your project will take. Or perhaps you\\u2019re just too nervous to get started\\u2014like the student who doesn\\u2019t start a report until the night before it\\u2019s due. Or the businessman who doesn\\u2019t prepare for a meeting until the last second. In a world with constant distraction online and in social media, procrastinating has never been so easy. But have you ever stopped to think, what if today was really all we had? Would you have shared the good news with everyone you can think of? Would you have done the things that really matter? The things that matter most to God are those with eternal value: loving and serving our neighbors, and sharing the good news Gospel. The Bible, which is God\\u2019s holy Word, tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, \\u201cFor God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.\\u201d So this week, let\\u2019s practice that self-discipline and avoid the distractions that cause us to delay, to put things off, to procrastinate. No more delays! Let\\u2019s be bold in sharing the Good News! This is Luis Palau.'
