Don't Neglect Your Life

Anything within the scope of your responsibility will decay without your attention.

There's a great principle of the natural world everyone needs to know. It's called the Law of Entropy, and it goes like this :Over time, things naturally lose energy, decay, or move from order to disorder. To illustrate this principle, picture your desk. From time to time you clean your desk, and the reason you clean it repeatedly is because it doesn't stay clean. It moves from order (neat) to disorder (cluttered) for reasons no one really knows.

There are many more examples we could use (garages closets, cars, hair), but let's focus on the some of the intangible things of your life, things like character and integrity. If you leave these areas alone and fail to give them attention, they will lose energy, decay, and move from order to disorder. In fact, anything that requires your time and energy-such as your relationship with God will go backward if you neglect it.

you must warn each other every day

so that none of you will be deceived by sin.

HEBREWS 3:13
