Well, I say that it gets done often, but does it? There are a lot of times when our energies are depleted and we have no more to give for the day and we simply put it off until another time. And when it comes to getting more important things done in life sometimes, I can understand that if you are comparing that to pressure washing the siding on your home. Enough said on that, right? I wish!<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to our obedience to God, we often put it often until the next service, and the next one, and the next one&#8230;simply because we are too tired from life. I cannot help but think that we know better than that! God has been too good to all of us for us to not make a sincere effort for Him! I remember the shape that I was in when I was coming to church, and I am so glad that the people that were obedient at the time didn&#8217;t say &#8220;I&#8217;m too tired, I&#8217;ll wait until next time&#8221;. God needs us right now to clean up our acts and to get to work for him! There are people at stake out there!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s do God&#8217;s work first and He will give us the strength for everything else.
