“Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:7-8 NLT)
We procrastinate about stuff that we feel compelled to do: exercise, work, chores, unpleasant tasks, obligatory interactions--basically anything which makes us feel uncomfortable, incompetent, or fearful. We know we should get to these things--sometimes we even convince ourselves that we want to do these things...just not right now.
Have you ever felt like running away from everything? This sometimes happens when there is prolonged disharmony between our spirit and our persona. Years and years of societal expectations have seeped into our conscious making it difficult to delineate between our true identity and our fabricated one. When we put off being the person whom we are called to be, and, instead, pretend to be the person whom everyone expects us to be, we become disconnected from our soul. We are all meant for more than this muck-filled existence of human vanity. We are called to be “believers cleaned up by Jesus and set apart for a God-filled life.” (1 Corinthians 1:2 MSG)
