1. The problem: procrastination, wrong priorities, wheel spinning (2‑6).

• Procrastination: If you only serve God when it is convenient you might be procrastinating.
• Wrong Priorities: If you are consistently using your excess on yourself then your priorities are wrong.
• Wheel Spinning: If you feel like you are spinning your wheels in life then you need to check your priorities.

Action: Ask yourself the hard question, "Have I made God my priority?"

2. The solution: get to it (7‑8).

• Give careful thought to your ways!
• After careful thought is given, it is time to get to work!
• After the work is complete God is honored.

Action: Get to it!

3. The reason: things just are not working right (9‑11).

• God has a variety of tools at his disposal for getting the attention of His people.
• God had warned of specific curses upon a specific people for disobedience in Deuteronomy 28:15‑24.
• If things are not going right turn to God.

Action: Determine if you need to do an extensive spiritual health check.
