Delayed obedience is disobedience. Haggai 1 calls out our procrastination and how we put our own priorities before the Lord's.

Procrastination and preoccupation will lead you away from your priorities to the Lord. But, by taking a step back and looking at how we can be used for the kingdom of God we give ourselves a chance to overcome procrastination and preoccupation. 

As we begin a new year, consider your ways and how you may use your time. Are you focused on your own house, or are you focused on building up the house of the Lord?
