"Chronic Excuse Makers"
What's an excuse? Well, when you make up an excuse, that means that you
try to come up with a good reason that you didn't do something that you
should have done.
"If you hide your sins, you will not succeed." Proverbs 28:13
Anybody can make excuses, and you can too. But you shouldn't get into
the habit of making too many excuses. Why? Because excuses don't
work. Everybody has already heard so many excuses that everybody can
recognize one when they hear it. My dad told me that an excuse is only
the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie. Making up a string of excuses
is usually harder than doing the work. Excuses lead to trouble. If
you're in the habit of making excuses, the best day to stop that is
today.
Let's try this: Stop focusing on our lacks... stop
giving out excuses and start looking and listening to Jesus. Replace
your excuses with fresh determination. Let's be be men of determination for our families, our churches and our country.
