“And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,” - Haggai 1v14
When it comes right down to it there is only way to fix procrastination. After fourteen years of focusing on themselves the people finally got busy when they heard God’s word from Haggai. The decided to obey God, and when they did they got words of great encouragement from God Himself – “I am with you.”
Imagine that; when God tells us to serve Him He does not send us out all alone. He says here, and many times in the Bible, that He will go out with us. In our own power we can do absolutely nothing – nothing at all. But when God goes with us we can do anything, nothing is impossible.
The people of Israel did what we should do today – they went out and did the work. No deliberation, no debate, no more procrastination – the simply went out and did the work.
