No excuse

Excuses were the beginning of sin, when the woman ate the apple and told God that the serpent deceived her and she ate the apple, believing satan instead of trusting God.

So, what’s your excuse? What’s your excuse for staying where you are? Are you in a stagnant relationship with God? Are you making excuses every Sunday why you can’t make it to church this time?

When God gives us direction, he expects cooperation, not excuses.

Or, are you feeling unqualified for what God’s called you to do? Are you His child, being obedient, but just afraid to lose the battle?

This is the time to ask God for strength. Just like in the song, “Confidence,” where it says, “give me faith like Daniel in the lion’s den; Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness; Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense, So I can face my giants with confidence.”

Quit making excuses, avoiding God’s invitation. He’s asking you to trust Him and follow Him.

He’s got a plan for you to prosper. Quit stalling. He’s waiting.

Romans 2:1 - “Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.”
