Be Proactive

Stephen F. Covey's book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" listed "Be Proactive" as the first habit.

God is proactive. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 NIV) All we that need is supplied by God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 KJV) But we choose to procrastinate. We refuse to believe in a God that had already proactively found a solution for us. Instead we prefer to seek our own salvation.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. (Galatians 4:4-5 NASB)

He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS." (Hebrews 4:7 NASB)
