Who God Uses?
If you say, "Hey, that's none of my business…" will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know -- someone not impressed with weak excuses." Proverbs 24:12 MSG
Webster's dictionary defines the word excuse as:
To make allowance for; overlook:
Many times people will have a perceived good excuse why they can not do the will of God in their life. Here is a list of excuses key people in the Bible could have used:
Jacob was a liar:
Noah was drunk:
Elijah was suicidal:
Gideon was afraid:
David had an affair:
Joseph was abused:
Naomi was a widow:
Abraham was too old:
Paul was too religious:
Isaiah preached naked:
Rahab was a prostitute:
John was self-righteous:
Zacchaeus was too small:
Jonah ran away from God:
Matthew was a tax collector:
Samson had long uncut hair:
Timothy had a stomach ulcer:
Martha worried about everything:
Job went bankrupt and lost everything:
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young:
Moses, David and Paul were murderers:
All the disciples fell asleep while praying:
Mary Magdalene was demon-possessed:
Peter was destructive, impulsive and hot-tempered:
Mary was so Jesus minded she was no earthly good:
The Samaritan woman was divorced - more than once:
John the Baptist ate locusts and wandered in the desert:
The boy with the fish and five rolls of bread is still unknown:
So what is my excuse for not repenting and doing the will of God in my life?
Prayer: Father remove every excuse that I have for not doing Your will in my life. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
