No Excuses!

I declare today the day of NO EXCUSES! Now, I know our minds are the masters at making excuses, but when you read this, you will see that today is really a day of NO EXCUSES. This past week I received this encouragement from one our members. Keep on reading and you will agree that today is a day of NO EXCUSES...

“Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead.... Now, what's YOUR excuse? Can God use you or not?

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED!”

We have no excuse - God has called each of us. 1 Peter 2:9 tells us “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

May we declare God’s praises today because today is a day of NO EXCUSES!

Loving and Leading,
