Excuses

Good evening everyone, there is an old gospel song that says these words… Excuses excuses, you hear them every day and the Devil will supply them if Church you’ll stay away. Satan has convinced so many people that they are OK with making excuses as long as they’re honest about it. Much of the problem is that they have convinced themselves that it’s OK to make excuses, even though way down deep in their heart, they know that God is not pleased with their excuses. Don’t take me wrong I’m not trying to speak sinless perfection, but we are led by the Holy Spirit, who will never lead us in the wrong direction. The Old Testament is full of people who made excuses along the way, only to realize that, once again, that it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Him. Once again I say that judgement day will be filled with excuses that will ultimately end badly. Folks, I read somewhere that in the Kings James Bible you’ll find the word “Excuse” or similar) 6 times. "Excuse": Used 3 times

"Excused": Used 2 times

"Excusing": Used 1 time. That equals 6 times in the Bible which 6 typically speaks of “man” in scripture. I’m glad the Bible teaches us that God took upon Himself a body so that in that body man could be redeemed by the precious blood of His Son Jesus Christ. There was no sidestepping and of course no excuses, just an obedient Heart that completely pleased the Father in all He did. If we need an excuse for anything, it will be to follow Him Who is Faithful and True. May the Lord bless you and keep you and cause his face to shine upon you.
