STOP THE EXCUSES -ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY !! LIVE GODLY ! RUN THE RACE ! PRESS ON ! READ ON MY FRIENDS !
'An excuse is a way to justify our wrong conduct !Poor excuses try to rationalize sin .This is not the 'honest godly life 'and we must stop making excuses ! We blame others for our sin and it gets us in trouble .It is 'far better' to admit we have done wrong , seek forgiveness and move forward! Hebrews 12:1'...let us lay aside every weight ,and the sin which doth so easily beset us ,and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.' We run the race with endurance by throwing off any sin which seeks to slow us down.We do not sit with a lazy spirit, we press on with diligence and we run ! Our eyes are riveted on Jesus the Victor who spurs us on !! [Hebrews 12:2]
Gen.3:12 We see Adam blaming Eve for his sin! He even indirectly blamed God for giving him 'the women'.
Then Eve blamed the serpent for her actions .Both were dishonest by bl aming someone else !So excuses go all the way back to the 1st sin as did blaming others.How about you ? Do you blame others for the 'words' you say and your 'actions' that do that not please God .You have a free will don't you ? No one can make you sin not even the devil ! Take full responsibility for your life .
Exodus 32 :21 ' And Moses said to Aaron , 'What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them ?" Exodus 32:24 now here comes Aaron's lame awful excuse and the big 'blame game' -'And I said to them 'Whoever has any gold , let them break it off .So they gave it to me , and I CAST IT INTO THE FIRE , AND THIS CALF CAME OUT.'Wow they worship the golden calf and sin against God and when confronted make excuses !!! Look at Exodus 32:4 ' And he received the gold from their hand , and he fashioned it with an engraving tool , and made a molded calf .Then they said , 'This is your god , O Israel , that brought you out of the land of Egypt.' This was blatant idolatry and Aaron lied to Moses and made excuses !! We often do the same thing because of pride or 'saving face'. We try to blame our sin on circumstances beyond our control .But the Bible clearly says you are 100% accountable to God for you actions ! Romans14 :12 ' So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.'LETS GET REAL .LETS GET HONEST .LETS LIVE GODLY LIVES .LETS ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT WE DO !
