James 1:1-20, 2 Corinthians 8:10-20, John 19:30

How many things have we started and left unfinished? “I’ll get to it later, I’ll do it tomorrow,” yet later and tomorrow for those things never comes. Time can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

Complete means to bring to an end, fully carry out, to make full. The greek word for complete is epiteleo or exartizo; to fit out or make exact. When Jesus looked up and said it is finished, He didn’t wait for the next day to say it; he didn’t hesitate. He came and completed what He was tasked to do by God.

So, as in the natural, is in the spiritual. When you wait until the last minute, you rush, and when you rush, your work is not done properly. 2 Corinthians 8:10-20, is an example of Paul trying to tell a group who had started a task a year prior to continue on in what they started to “perform the doing of it.” When you fail to complete a project in your life, it affects the outcome of other things in your life. Tomorrow may be too late, we know not the day or hour the Son of Man comes. How would you like Jesus to come in the middle of your incompleteness?

If your tasked to go 100 miles to pick up a very important supply shipment for people who are in need and you say I’ll do it tomorrow, instead of right then and there, what do you think the outcome will be? When you start out, you find you only make it 50 miles because the road that you normally travel on, is under construction. Now, those people in need, aren’t helped and harm befalls them, simply due to your incompleteness. You’ve not completed your task. If the Lord has given you a gift to restore and bring health back to people, and you put off using it, you yourself may fall ill and end up not utilizing your gift. So it behooves us not to procrastinate, but COMPLETE it, with the utmost urgency. The same in the natural, is the same in the spiritual.
