Immediately

I have found over the years, whether working with others or trying to guide my children, the best time to take action is immediately.   There is a greater tendency among us all not to get it done when we put it off.  When asked by another to do something, if delayed, many have a tendency to forget to do it.    Many good intentions have never been fulfilled because they lacked immediate action.   That is one reason why I love Mark 1:18 so much.  Notice how Andrew and Simon responded to Jesus- And immediately they left their nets and followed him. (www.lifejournal.cc)  There is no time when you need to be more immediate, than when you are following the Lord's lead.  The reality is that delay is often disobedience.  Andrew and Simon immediately decided to leave everything they knew (their nets) and to follow the Lord.  You see for Andrew and Simon, their nets were their job.  They had a family business, but they left it all to follow Jesus immediately.  You don't need to make immediate decision about major moves in life, unless you have a clear, clarion call from God.  When He speaks, delay no longer.  Follow the Lord....immediately!
