“EXCUSES”
When God calls you to take part in His ministry, how do you respond? “Here Am I!” or, “Send someone else.” Look at some of the excuses God- called people gave:
Abraham was too old
Moses stuttered
Miriam was a gossip
Jacob was a liar
Gideon doubted
Elijah was burned out
First David’s armor didn’t fit, then he had an affair, and had someone killed
Solomon was too rich
Isaiah had unclean lips
Jeremiah was too young
Jonah didn’t like the job
Amos’s only training was in the school of fig tree pruning
Naomi was a widow
Peter was afraid of death
Thomas was from Missouri (The “Show Me State”)
Paul was a murderer
Mark was rejected by Paul
Timothy had ulcers
Lazarus was dead
Martha was a worry-wart
…..or so they claimed, before God’s Spirit empowered them to rise to the occasion and become some of the greatest heroes of our faith.
What’s Your Excuse?
Love, Pastor Tommy
