Make Today Count VidCast: The Price of Inaction

Every morning you wake up you have a choice to make. The price for your decision is great. If you decide to not act you will pay a price — the price of inaction will impact our lives.


The Cost of Doing Nothing: Too High


Inaction can be costly. It can lead to missed opportunities, unfulfilled potential, and even spiritual stagnation. James 4:17 tells us, "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them." This verse highlights that knowing what is right and failing to act is not just a missed opportunity but a sin.


The Impact on Our Lives:


Inaction can also affect our personal growth and relationships. Proverbs 24:33-34 warns, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man." This proverb reminds us that laziness and procrastination can lead to negative consequences.


Taking Action:


Seek God Psalm 32:8

·     He will guide you

·     Instruct you

·     Walk with you


Small Achievable Goals — Philippians 4:13

·     You can do all things

·     He gives you strength

·     Start small end big

 

Encouragement to Act — Colossians 3:23-24

·     Decide to act

·     Do it with all your heart

·     Stay focused

·     Honor God


The price of inaction is too high to ignore. It can lead to missed opportunities, unfulfilled potential, and even spiritual consequences.
