Procrastinating and delaying to obey God's commands may have very serious consequences in your life and mine.
Lot procrastinated and lingered when the angels warned him of the destruction that God was to bring upon Sodom (Genesis 19:15-16). When Lot delayed leaving Sodom, his family had reason to doubt whether the city was so near to destruction as the angels said. If Lot himself did not act immediately to remove himself, why should anyone take him seriously? How can such danger and near destruction be reconciled with lingering, procrastinating, and delaying?
O, dear ones, think not for a moment that your procrastination to do the will of God is such an inconsequential or minor issue to God. It is not inconsequential because it reveals a halting and a second-guessing when it comes to your love and obedience to God's good and holy commandments.
How often is this true in your Christian life? The way of the cross is not obedience when you feel like it, or when it is convenient. The way of the cross is, “Not my will, but thine be done.” From our text today, we shall see this all too common sin of procrastination displayed in the life of Felix, the Roman governor. The main points from our text this Lord's Day are: (1) Felix the Procrastinator (Acts 24:22-25); (2) Felix the Lover of Money (Acts 24:26-27).
