Proverbs 21:5  (The Message)  “Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you further behind.”

5.  The Plan of a Leader.

I can’t remember a time when I waited until the last minute on anything and ended up with the best possible product or outcome.  Not in driving somewhere, or putting something together, or in sermon or message preparation.  The writer of this proverb hits many of us hard right between the eyes.

How often are we guilty of procrastinating that which is Most Important to the organizations and people we lead?  How often do we fail to plan effectively and consequently give those we’re trusted to lead an inferior product… a mediocre outcome.

Peace and Joy live in the planning.  If you want to enjoy your work more, do the hard work of doing the most important work first.  Plan ahead, it’s just better.

? Where are you putting off that which is most important?
