Two days later he brought Lincoln the letter he had written, and read it to him. You have said all you told me you would. It took you two days to write it, and it did you a lot of good. You feel a great deal better now, and that is all that is necessary. The letter went to the waste basket, and Stanton learned an important lesson.
Procrastination is a killer of time and motivation.
It borrows on tomorrow's time. Today is yesterday's tomorrow. God has many promises, but tomorrow isn't one of them. We can't waste a minute of unredeemable time in getting on with our purpose in life while we have time and health to do it. There is no record of Felix ever finding the time to summon Paul.
